Hi all, I'm new to the Samba world, so excuse me if this is a simple question. I have Samba 3.0.10-1.4E.9 running on a RHEL 4 install. I have successfully joined the server to our Windows 2003 Active Directory domain. I am able to authenticate users with the kinit command and everything seems to be configured the way the Samba How-To document outlines. The problem I am having is that when I try to connect to one of the shares on this server, I get a dialog box prompting for authentication. None of the credentials I enter works. It just continues to prompt for authentication. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this problem? Thanks. ___________________________ Aaron Giuoco Systems Admin Atlantia Offshore Limited e: agiuoco@atlantia.com ph: 281-899-4385

The solution is to create users, (in my case, using Fedora's system-config-samba gui, selecting "Preferences"->"Users" and giving them passwords. Blank passwords may also work.) The samba users correspond to real users (a one to one relationship) but do not need to have the same username on the windows machine; you can map them with this dialog. A.F.
