[Samba] Problems connecting to non-public SAMBA-shares
Dear Experts, I have the following problem and I would be very happy, if someone had an idea, what to do. Under SuSE 9.0 I installed a SAMBA-Server to which three Windows-XP Clients are connecting. With one XP-Client-PC (client1) no user has any problems to connect to the public _and_ non-public (user/password-dependent) shares; from the other two Clients (client2 and client3) nobody can connect to the non-public shares (here: homes and testshare), but connecting to the public shares (here: transfer) is also possible here. The smb.conf is attached to the end of this email and for the sake of clarity an extract of the log.smb can be found at http://home.t-online.de/home/M.P.D : the left-side in the table there is the log of an access from client1, whereas the right side represents an unsuccessful access from client2. Up to line ... everthing seems to be ok (IMHO). Many thanks in advance, Michael My smb.conf: =========== # Global parameters [global] workgroup = TESTWG netbios name = SMBTESTSERVER server string = Samba Server interfaces = eth0 lo bind interfaces only = Yes encrypt passwords = Yes map to guest = Bad User log level = 3 printcap name = CUPS character set = ISO8859-1 os level = 65 dns proxy = No wins support = Yes hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/16 client1.testdomain.tdl client2.testdomain.tdl client3.testdomain.tdl printing = cups [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0640 directory mask = 0750 browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp create mask = 0600 printable = Yes browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 [testshare] comment = TESTShare path = /groups/testshare/ read only = No browseable = No [transfer] comment = Transfer Ordner path = /groups/transfer read only = No guest ok = Yes
