Is it possible to just have the VERY basic win98/95 style network neighborhood share set up where no one has any passwords and all shared disks are visible to everyone on the local network? I just have two windows boxes and one linux, it seems like all the SAMBA documentation is geared toward more than what I need or want. I would be happy if we could just share files and print back and forth with no passwords. Windows doesn't even use NetBios at all for this kind of set up. Does anyone know how to do this, or have a sample samba.conf that does this??
Hi, I have the following problem. We are using a linux box for the export of $HOME to NT-clients. All NT clients are patched not to use encryp. passwords. Now I tried to move everything to a HP9000(11.00). Samba (2.0.6) installation was easy. I've just moved the working smb.conf to the hp and it won't work. :( I tested everything from a linux box as described in diag.txt and it works. Everything I tried from a NT box will not work! Encription is disabled on the samba AND on the NT side. Has anybody a idea ? I can mail the testparm output, if it is helpfull. Please send a copy to my e-mail adress.

Hello Peer,
Along with the testparm output, it would be great if you could add as
attachements to your message the following:
1. exact failure senario on the NT side (how does it fail? do you get a access
denied when trying to access the share, does the share not show up at all, does
the SERVER not show up in the network neighborhood, what?
2. output of the following hp-ux commands:
-lanscan
-ifconfig lan0
-ifconfig <any other lan card, if you have multiple>
-smbclient -L <yourhpuxsambaservername>
3. Change log level to 10 in smb.conf and try your NT test again, and then
append the log file
generated in the samba/var directory that looks like
"log.<whateveryour NT
netbios machinename is>
What I would hope to get out of all of this is:
1. the exact symptoms of NT not being able to connect/view their $home share
2. what HP-UX network configuration you are using, in case Samba defaults for
interface/subnetmask are
picking up the 'wrong' networkcard/ip pair.
3. information that shows WHO the attempted connection is being made on, and
where it is failing.
Hope This Helps,
Don Mccall
