My company's network is entirely Microsoft. They just decided to start
looking into what Open Source has to offer (I'm the only "Open Source
person" here) so there are a lot of questions.
Anyway....
We installed Samba on a Red Hat 8.0 system. Samba was installed via the
default RPM installation. This is the current smb.conf file (I created
my own instead of using the default)
***************************************
[global]
workgroup = OURDOMAINSNAME
netbios name = opensource
server string = Samba running %v
security = domain
encrypt passwords = yes
password server = SERVERWITHPASSWORDSONIT
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writeable = yes
[Share]
comment = Shared Dir
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
path = /home/share
***************************************
The way it works right now, anyone on the company's domain can access
this server, and once they get to it (after authenticating) they can
access their directory, if they exist on the server. For example,
there are 3 users
jvilla - account on Linux box and company domain
mbaker - account on Linux box and company domain
jcolgan - account on Linux box and company domain
we can all access accounts just fine.
My question concerns the ability to access dirs on samba server.
If I try to access it via a terminal, everything is fine...
smbclient //192.168.0.51/jvilla -U OURDOMAINNAME/jvilla
This works great...
as well as accessing the share dir.
Now, if I use Konqueror, I type
smb://192.168.0.51/jvilla
and when prompted I type
username: OURDOMAINNAME/jvilla
password: password
and it seems as if I "got in" because I am no longer prompted for a
username and password, however, if I don't use OURDOMAINNAME before my
username, I am continuously prompted for username/password.
Is there a Samba reason for this, or is this related to Konqueror. If
the latter, thanks for taking the time to read this and I'll pursue this
on a more relevant list.
