Hi all.. Happy holidays! I am having trouble all of the sudden with samba. I was running an older version and I suddenly couldn't connect the mapped drives this morning (yesterday it worked fine) so I downloaded the lastest samba and compiled and installed it. Now when I try to connect to a public share windows keeps asking me for a password. Also, if I use "smbclient -L \\servername" to view the shares on the file server it prompts me for a password.. If I just hit enter it will go ahead and list the shares.. Here is what is from the log.wsi02 (my windows desktop is wsi02): [1999/12/24 19:05:16, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1295) domain_client_validate: no challenge done - password failed [1999/12/24 19:05:16, 0] smbd/password.c:password_ok(551) Error: challenge not done for user=jrains [1999/12/24 19:05:16, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(909) Rejecting user 'jrains': authentication failed Am I missing something that I should have for the new samba? I was running an older version (my motto: if it's not broke don't fix it). Now it seems this new version may be wanting more. I am running Slackware and shadow passwords. Here is the global section of my smb.conf file: [global] ; printing = bsd ; printcap name = /etc/printcap ; load printers = yes guest account = guest hosts allow = ALL security = domain The guest account does exist.. and it has a "*" listed for it's password in /etc/shodow. Any suggestions what I should try next? Thanks! Justin
