Hi all,
I have a problem with using smbclient, my current setup as follows:
- Linux 9 login/password: excalibur & xxx
Windows 2000 login/password: MYDOMAIN\darrenk & yyy
- Linux smb service - did not change anything in smb.conf except to make it use
plain passwords:
; encrypt passwords = yes
; smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
- Windows 2000 - apply plain password registry fix
I can successfully access Linux folders from Windows 2000:
- Start - Run - \\222.76.129.238
- Type in Linux login name/password at Windows prompt: excalibur/xxx
- Successfully get access to Linux folder
If I wanted other Windows users to share the Linux login of
"excalibur", I thought this would do it:
smbaddusers excalibur:newuser
I was then prompted for a new password which I entered zzz. The command was
successful and there is now an entry in smbusers and also smbpasswd:
excalibur = newuser
However when trying to access Linux from Windows, I still cannot get in ...
tried the following combinations:
1. newuser + zzz - no
2. newuser + <excalibur's password> - no
3. excalibur + zzz - no
4. excalibur + <excalibur's password> - YES
I was expecting that this "newuser" will be treated as a normal
Windows user, authenticated with the password "zzz" and then mapped to
"excalibur" on Linux, is this assumption correct? What else am I doing
wrong?
Thanks very much, Excalibur
