Hello, I'm running Samba 1.9.17p2 (compiled with DES) on FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE and trying to connect w/ NT 4.0 workstation SP3. I have updated the registry on the NT box correctly to enable clear text passwords. I have 'server = user' defined in smb.conf. (the rest of the smb.conf global defines are listed below). I have a username map defined as well since many of our NT user names are not the same as our unix user names. If I enable encrypted passwords and use the smbpasswd file then Samba does the right thing with mapping usernames and logging in successfully. However, if I disable encrypted passwords, then apparently, only users who have the same user name for NT and unix are able to log in successfully. Those users who need username translation via the username map are unable to log in. The symptoms are the same as if clear text passwords were not enabled on the NT box ("incorrect username/password"). After looking at the Samba logs, it looks like the username map *is* in fact being scanned when a connection request is received. Here is a snippet from the log file (an unsuccessful connection) pm_process() returned Yes adding IPC service Netmask for de0 = 255.255.255.0 Derived broadcast address 204.166.158.255 Added interface ip=204.166.158.149 bcast=204.166.158.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 10/08/97 11:43:45 loaded services 10/08/97 11:43:45 changed root to / priming nmbd sending a packet of len 1 to (127.0.0.1) on port 137 of type DGRAM 10/08/97 11:43:45 Transaction 0 of length 72 netbios connect: name1=SUN name2=WAIMEA Scanning username map /usr/local/samba/lib/username.map 10/08/97 11:43:45 Transaction 1 of length 174 switch message SMBnegprot (pid 12543) Requested protocol [PC NETWORK PROGRAM 1.0] Requested protocol [XENIX CORE] Requested protocol [MICROSOFT NETWORKS 1.03] Requested protocol [LANMAN1.0] Requested protocol [Windows for Workgroups 3.1a] Requested protocol [LM1.2X002] Requested protocol [LANMAN2.1] Requested protocol [NT LM 0.12] Selected protocol NT LM 0.12 end of file from client Closing connections 10/08/97 11:43:45 Server exit (normal exit) Here's are the globals in my smb.conf: [global] ; logging debug level debug level = 4 ; workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: REDHAT4 workgroup = NTDOMAIN ; comment is the equivalent of the NT Description field comment = Samba Server ; printing = BSD or SYSV or AIX, etc. printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = no ; log file log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.smb ; Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb) max log size = 100 ; Options for handling file name case sensitivity and / or preservation ; Case Sensitivity breaks many WfW and Win95 apps case sensitive = yes short preserve case = yes preserve case = yes ; Security and file integrity related options lock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/locks locking = yes ; Strict locking is available for paranoid locking situations only ; enabling this severely degrades read / write performance. ; strict locking = yes ; fake oplocks = yes share modes = yes ; enable Windows to Unix username translation username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/username.map ; Security modes: USER uses Unix username/passwd, SHARE uses WfW type passwords ; SERVER uses an other SMB server (eg: Windows NT Server or Samba) ; to provide authentication services security = user ; enable encrypted passwords. encrypt passwords = no ; WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client ; Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both wins server = 204.166.158.8 Is there a solution? Something I missed? Is anyone else having the same problem? Thanks in Advance. -Malc
