Hi,> I setup samba on rh6.2, and when i try to access > the linux m/c from win2k n/w nhbrhood, i get the > message: > the account is not authorised to log in from this > station.have you already setup an account on your machine running samba? are you logging in with _this_ account when w2k starts? Cheers Tom
Along with enabling encrypted passwords in smb.conf, if you are in security = user mode (the default, if you don't have a security = somethingelse in your smb.conf file) you will need to add the usernames that you are trying to login to samba from into the smbpasswd file, and set the smbpasswd password to match what your pc user is using. See the "Using Samba" chapter 6 for details on how to use the smbpasswd command to do this.

Hello - I have a simple LAN with a Solaris server, one WIN95 machine and one WIN2K machine. I want to share a Solaris disk with the 2 PCs. Samba is running fine on Solaris, I can see the disk from my WIN95 machine and can access and modify files on it. My simple smb.conf on the Solaris machine is: [global] workgroup = MYGROUP [datah] path = /data/h writeable = yes All Solaris diagnostics look ok. When I go to my WIN2K machine, and try and 'map a network drive (\\dobbs\datah) where dobbs is the Solaris machine, I get the error message: Attempting to connect to ... "The account is not authorized to log in from this station" On my WIN2K my workgroup is MYGROUP and my login name and password are the same as they are on the Solaris machine. Can anyone help? Thanks. (PS: my WIN2K can see dobbs, I can 'ping dobbs' and telnet and ftp to it.) Brian Barker SAIC Rosslyn, VA
Success on Win2k -- Someone made the suggestion that I set 'encrypt passwords = yes' in my smb.conf on my Solaris machine, and then run smbpasswd -a "username" where "username" is my Solaris-Unix login name, along with the same password. When I go to my Win2k machine and try and map a network drive, as that same username and password, it all works! Magical. (also stopped and started my smbd and nmbd on the Unix machine) Brian> -----Original Message----- > From: Barker, Brian W. > Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 10:45 AM > To: 'samba@lists.samba.org' > Cc: Barker, Brian W. > Subject: Samba on Win2K > > Hello - I have a simple LAN with a Solaris server, one WIN95 machine > and one WIN2K machine.
