[Samba] Samba print server as part of Win2000 domain, having access issues from winXP
Hello samba gurus, Here is my issue, it may actually be a windows issue but because samba is in the mix I feel like it should be presented here. Here are the three principle players: a) pdcbox - A windows 2000 server box functioning as a PDC (in compatibility mode) b) printbox - a SuSE linux box running Samba 2.2.3a functioning as a print server (with cups) and a WINS server. c) clientbox - An XP Pro machine trying to print. I am logged into clientbox as user "tim", which is a user in my Win2K domain. When I attempt to print or look at my available printers I get an "access denied" message. If I open up printbox in Windows explorer it asks me for a username and password. If I type in my own username and password it fails. If I type in another username and password (just another user in the domain with the same priveledges as myself) it works, after this I can print. What gives? I have verified that my account is valid and no different from the one that works. printbox is configured thusly: [global] workgroup = somedomain security = domain password server = pdcbox map to guest = Bad Password socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY character set = ISO8859-15 os level = 0 local master = yes preferred master = no domain master = no wins support = yes DNS Proxy = no guest account = guest printing = cups encrypt passwords = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp create mask = 0600 printable = Yes postscript = No browseable = No guest ok = yes [phaser3] path = /var/tmp read only = No create mask = 0600 guest ok = Yes printable = Yes postscript = Yes printer name = phaser3 use client driver = Yes oplocks = No Any help would be appreciated.
