I'm trying to work out why I have the following problem, and I'd really
appreciate any help you guys can offer:
I have a samba share mapped as drive o: to an NT4 server, which happens to
be the machine that takes our backups. What I want to do is back up the
data on the Samba share too. Simple enough, you'd ahve thought, and I can
back up stuff from a Windows share fine. But, whether or not I have the
share correctly mapped to and working on the NT4 machine, the backups
regularly fail with messages like "logon failure" and occasionally
"unexpected network error". Trying to map a network drive on a Windows
machine using the backup server's username/password gives me 'Incorrect
password or unknown username'. The UNIX user arcserve does exist, though
it's 'arcserve' not 'ArcServe' (as it is on Windows).
Running smbclient with the backup user name on the Samba server itself gives:
smbclient \\\\samba\\art -U arcserve
added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
added interface ip=172.17.1.3 bcast=172.17.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
session request to SAMBA failed (Called name not present)
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
I _thought_ I had authorisation and automatic user creation sorted out in
my smb.conf and it seems to be working for most other users; despite the
error message I do seem to be getting a connection to somewhere. What I
most don't know how to do, though, is go about debugging this - fid out
where I'm connecting to and so on. My smb.conf is below, can anyone help?
Many thanks,
Vicky Clarke
