Problems with a Win98 client attached to a Linux samba server via ISDN-PPP
Hi! Just today, I managed to attach my Win98 client at home to my remote network which is controlled by a Linux samba 2.0.5a server. The TCP/IP connection is working just fine, I'm able to access all services like ftp, telnet, ... The Win98 client is connected to the network using the DialUp-Network. The option "log on to remote network" is activated and as far as I can conclude from the output of the Windows DUN, username and password are confirme d. I can even see \\server in the Network Neighborhood. But when I double-click on \\server I get an error message stating that \\server cannot be accessed because I don't habe sufficient rights to do so. After attempting this, the following lines are added to log.smb: [2000/01/29 18:13:20, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(532) smb_password_check failed. Invalid password given for user 'werner' [2000/01/29 18:13:20, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(532) smb_password_check failed. Invalid password given for user 'werner' Then I try to mount a share manually via a net use command: net use f: \\server\data There will be an error message saying that the supplied password is incorrect. The following appears in log.smb: [2000/01/29 18:13:42, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(532) smb_password_check failed. Invalid password given for user 'werner' After that, I'm prompted for a password, which I then enter. The operation then completes successfully, the share is mounted to drive f: and log.smb got a little bit longer: [2000/01/29 18:13:49, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(521) erde (192.168.255.20) connect to service data as user praxis (uid=500, gid=101) (pid 12229) With erde being the local machine and praxis being the user to access the share data from within the network (I guess this is due to force user = praxis in smb.conf). Why does it not work automatically? Is there a way to work around this? Here are the relevant parts of my smb.conf: [global] netbios name = server workgroup = praxis security = user encrypt passwords = yes interfaces = 192.168.0.10/24 192.168.255.10/24 hosts allow = 192.168.0. 192.168.255. 127. keep alive = 30 socket options = TCP_NODELAY oplocks = yes write raw = yes read raw = yes domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes os level = 65 wins support = yes time server = yes guest account = nobody map to guest = Bad User domain logons = yes logon script = %U.bat browseable = no [netlogon] path = /netlogon public = yes read only = yes [data] comment = Praxis-Data path = /home/praxis/data read only = no browseable = yes public = no create mode = 0775 force user = praxis Thanks for your suggestions and have a good time! ************************************************************ Felix Schatz felix.schatz@gmx.de ************************************************************
