samba - Mar 1998 - Newbie Question

Does Samba allow me to mount NT (disks) file systems on my Unix (SGI)
box?

We're having problems using IBM's OS/390 NFS client
to a Sun Solaris platform.

We have current, open ETRs with IBM and they've
acknowledged that they have NFS problems.
They are reviewing traces as I type.

Someone suggested(me!) that maybe we should try using
SAMBA to mount Solaris filesystems to OS/390.


Simple Newbie Question: Can the OS/390 Samba client mount
                        to a Samba Server on a Solaris platform?

Any gotchas?

I noticed that the README file states that the OS/390 Samba
comes with an "FTP-LIKE" Samba client? 
I guess I'm looking for  an "NFS-LIKE" Samba client??

TIA

Hello all,

I'm a begginer with Samba, so I ask you to bear with me.  I realize 
that by now this must have been covered in some documentation or other, 
but I'm just not able to find it, so I'm just asking to be pointed in 
the right direction.

First, I have HP-UX 10.20, all latest patches with the 1.9.18p10 samba 
release

I've avoided working with NT as much as possible, alas, I've run out of 
luck.  I received 12 machines with NT 4.  After performing the reg edit 
and configuring TCP/IP and creating the smbpasswd (haven't converted to 
encrypted though), I can see the unix host just fine.  The problem 
comes when the NT 4 workstations (I have no NT servers) try to access 
the shares.  The server ALLWAYS asks me for account and password.  If I 
mount the shares, at startup the server will still ask for the 
password.  It may be pertinent to mention that the Win95 PCs don't have 
any problems.
 
Again, I don't want to make everybody mad out here (I'm still expecting 
my share of RTFMs) =) but I can't seem to find the solution.

BTW, there are loads of data in the archives, but it's not easy finding 
something as general as this when you're a newbie.  I searched for NT 4 
workstation and, as you can guess, got a TON of links but no answer.

Again, all I'm really asking is to be pointed to where to find the info.

Thanks for your patience =)

As far as I know, NT will  always asks for passwords, unless you have
set up encrypted ones, which is pretty easy to do. Hence its not
supprising you have this problem.

BUT (and its a big but), my NT workstation still asks for the passwords
even though I have set up encrypted passwords. So if anyone else can
throw any light on this, I too would be interested.

Hello list,

Sorry if this is covered in the FAQs.  I couldn't find a solution anywere. 
I have Red Hat 6.0 running with Samba on our network.  I can ping other
computers on the network and can ping the Linux box from other machines. 
I've read through the SMB HOWTO document and set up a simple /etc/smb.conf
to allow users (with accounts on the Linux  box) to access their home
directories (on the Linux box) from NT workstations.  My /etc/smb.conf is
attached.
>From an NT workstation, I open Network Neighborhood.  I can see my Linux
server listed (GRASS).  When I try to connect to it, it prompts me for a user
name and password.  I've tried every combination of username/password that I
can think of, but every time, I get an error message:
\\Grass is not accessible.

The account is not authorized to login from this station.



I know that my problem is that I'm new to Linux and have never used Samba,
but its a problem none-the-less.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

I want to setup a Samba share visible in the Network Neighborhood.

When it is opened, I would like to launch a browser with the URL,
pointing back to the Linux server, like http://linuxserver/.

I think it should be simple, but not sure how to proceed.

Thanks.

G'day,

Attempting an experimental setup of samba (so I can understand samba)

using Slackware 7.1
Samba 2.0.7

Used the diagnostics form the samba site (thanks)

Test 1 and 4 passed.
test 2 ping local host 127.0.0.1

script for test 3 below

smb.conf attatched.

looking at other postings I hope this is the correct protocol.

any suggestions appreciated.

thanks

Ashley

I've just been handed a site using Samba to have a unix computer send files
into a directory on a NT computer.
Now they want to have two unix computers share the same directory (for file
creation only) on the NT machine.
Is it possible to do this? If so, how?

Thanks for your help.

I have just been handed a site with a unix computer, using samba, sending files
to an NT computer.

They now want to add another unix machine sending files to the same directory on
the NT machine.

I can spell Samba, but not much more yet.

Is it possible to have two unix computers send files to the same shared
directory on an NT computer?
If it can be done, how do I configure it? Where would I find this information in
the docs?

Thanks for your help.

Ok, so on NT you want to have one Network-Drive which leads to files 
on 2 unix machines. You can do that. Use one unix machine and install 
samba, share a directory. Within that directory place the mount point 
for the second unix machine and do a NFS mount.

Better for the network load would be to install samba on both unix 
machines (NIS for acconts and plaintext passwords and securtiy = 
server for encrypted passwords) and use 2 network drives on NT

I have just installed samba 2.2.1a on Solaris 8 .

Created  share called users

/usr/local/samba/private# smbclient //drsunfs1/users
added interface ip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX bcast=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX nmask=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Password:
Domain=[DRSHOKEN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.1a]

this works fine from the server itself .

Since I am using NIS I did like this .

ypcat passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /tmp/smbpass.tmp

moved this file as smbpasswd and restarted smbc and nmbd .

Now when I try to connect from PC

C:\>net use s: \\drsunfs1\users
The password is invalid for \\drsunfs1\users.

Type the password for \\drsunfs1\users:
System error 1240 has occurred.

The account is not authorized to login from this station.
I did change the passwd by

smbpasswd rahul
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Password changed for user rahul.

I have not specified anything in deny network

still it says , Account is not authorized from this station .
If I try to do this from another Unix Workstastion

 ./smbclient //drsunfs1/users/
Server time is Mon Oct  1 19:55:24 2001
Timezone is UTC+9.0
Password:

first SMBtconX failed, trying again. ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an
invalid share name)
SMBtconX failed. ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name)
Perhaps you are using the wrong sharename, username or password?
Some servers insist that these be in uppercase

Ofcourse here I specified root password
although
./smbclient -L drsunfs1 gives correct output

please  help and forgive me for asking the question  which has asked many times
.

I just did encrypted password = yes and it worked , I can see the share and
I can attach to it .


In the log file , log.nmbd I see following messages ,

You do realize that mksmbpasswd.sh does not enter the actual passwords,
right?

Unix passwords and SMB passwords use incompatible encryption schemes, both
one-way encryption techniques.  There is no way to read the passwd file (or
yp equivalent) and generate SMB encrypted passwords from it.  Hell, if this
were possible, then the separate smbpasswd file would not be necessary.

You need to add individual passwords for each user, using "smbpasswd".
Or
use unencrypted passwords for a time, using the "update encrypted"
option
of
Samba (in effect, letting users populate the smbpasswd passwords by using
the system).

Hello all,

   I've recently installed SAMBA ver2.2.1a and have setup a couple of
shares. All seems fine. However one share is of an SAP Interface Filesystem (ie
SAP outputs certain files to it) and is shared to a W2K server. This in itself
works fine, and testing was going well until, someone spotted that the
application on the W2K server occasionally reads and then removes (as it should)
the output file before output from SAP is complete. This causes the application
guys no end of problems.

  Is there a way of "locking" file access so only 1 user can access a
file at a time?

TIA

Hello All,

I am new to using Samba and have just installed the RPM's on my Linux
Redhat 7.2 server. My test Windows machine is a Windows ME machine.

I have been reading the documentation and looking over the smb.conf
to try and fidure out how do set up the basic configurations.

What I need to configure is to allow the users, which have an account
on the Linux machine to enter their login/password on the WIndows
machine when they want to connect to their home directory.

They will generally not browse any directories on the server and just
connect to their home direcotry while they are using the Windows
machine.

Could someone please tell me how this might be done andwhat changes I
nned to make to my smb.conf?

Thanks,
Lonnie

Hi,

This may be well documented , but hey I can only ask.

I have just installed Samba 2.0.7.0 onto AIX 4.3.3, from the Bull freeware
site.

However, although I can connect to an exported share from NT4 useing use *
\\servername\sharename, which works just fine. I cannot get to connect to
the share and get results from the following  dir \\servername\sharename.

This is giving me grief, I installed Samba cos the FastConnect product from
IBM has been falling over. and the app that we use uses similar searches to
the above command (which works fine in NT and using FastConnect AND ASU for
Tru64 Unix)

Is there some server configuration I have missed that will get this
working??


Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Regards

Mark

Hi group,

I just installed Linux RedHat 7.2 with samba.
I use the following conf file:
[global]
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        printing = lprng
        dns proxy = no
        security = share
        encrypt passwords = yes
        workgroup = K&S
        server string = Samba Server
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        netbios name = Linux
        load printers = yes
        username map = /etc/samba/user.map
        printcap name = /etc/printcap
        max log size = 0

[algemeen]
        path = /home/data
        writable = yes
        comment = K&S Algemeen
        valid users = root,rob
        printable = no


On my Windows machine I can see linux and I can see the share 
(algemeen), but when I try to browse to it, Windows asks me for the 
password.
What am I missing?

Rob.

Rob,

The reason you can see the shares is because security=share doesn't do any
authentication until you try to access a share.

I can see you're using encrypted passwords, so you need to make sure that
the username exists as a Linux user and has an entry in the smbpasswd file.


I personally had alot of problems getting security=share to work.  I think
the hardest thing to figure out is what username it's going to use.  If you
check out the smb.conf.5.htm you will see what steps samba uses to determine
what username to use.

A couple of things - if you go for share level security you should have a 
password = blah entry in the share.

If you just want to use a username and password that is on the linux box, 
use security = user and run the following on the server :

smbpasswd -a username

I am not a member of the samba team,
and anything that I say may not be as
accurate as a response from one of the
team.  I reply to save those more
qualified time, which can more usefully
be spent developing SAMBA further.

Hello, all,

    I am sure you have read this question a million times, but I have not been
able to resolve this problem.  I am setting up a Samba server as an NT Domain
Controller.  So far, I have set the paramaters in smb.conf precisely as
recommended in the Feb. 2002 edition of Linux Magazine, and the samba.org HOWTO
document.  The symptoms are these : Windows 98 machines report "The domain
password you supplied is incorrect", and the XP machine I am testing
reports "The network path cannot be found" when trying to join it onto
the Samba PDC domain.

    Troubleshooting:    Following as much documentation as I could, I found a
reference to the encryption or lack thereof of passwords.  I double-checked the
.conf file, and the "encrypt passwords = yes" line is in the config. 
Moreover, I wanted to verify the issue further and deactivated encrypted
passwords on the Win98 client to see if it would go through.  Even after
modifying the 98 machine to use plaintext passwords, it still gives me the same
error.  I have the password synch option turned on, and I have reset the
password several times with smbpasswd to make sure it matched what I was typing.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance...

Is your Samba server set up as a WINS server as well?  WINS is very
important when using the TCP/IP stack on M$ OS's...  To test without setting
up WINS, you can enter in the server information manually using the LMHOSTS
file on the XP PC.  Here's a link on M$'s website for the LMHOSTS file:
http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q102044

Hello,

I've been looking over the doc, and have Samba installed and running.

We are trying to do the following:

We have a number of nt clients(nt 4 & w2k workstations) that we want to
provide storage space too on our Unix box.

What we would like is for them to all map one share, then based on
secuirty(unix?) only allow them to certain subdirectories within that share.
Example:

\  
\Accounting
\Finance
\Programming


Someone could have access to accounting but not finance, or they could have
access to finance and programming but not accounting.

If someone could tell me wether this is possible or not I would appeciate
it.  If you could point to a place in the doc to set this up would also be
very helpful..

thanks!

When I try to connect to the samba server I get the following error:

 

\\server <file:///\\server>  is not accessible.  You might not have
permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of
this server to see if you have access permissions.  No service is
operating at the destination network endpoint on the remote system.

 

I have set this machine up just like another machine that I know works.
But I am still not able to connect to this server.  Can someone tell me
what to look for?

Using SAMBA 2.2.8a on RedHat 9.0, built from source, not binary.  smb/unix
sync is active.  PAM authentication is active.

As root, I can use smbpasswd to change a user's samba password, but the user
cannot change it him or herself.  When the attempt is made, the system
rejects the password change with a RAP86 error.

I've looked for this error on the web, but there are only two responses
which detail this action - one implying that as of 2.2.7a a user cannot
change his own password (which seems peculiar, but does hold some water),
and the other mentioning a password length limitation (which does not hold
water in this case).

It is my hope I can find an answer here.  Essentially, I want to use a
single utility to change both the linux and samba passwords for a user.  I
seem to recall this working in earlier releases.

Thanks,

Urchin

I am new to Samba and not  on the mailing list just
yet. Please respond to this account if you can. 

Is there a port of samba for AIX 4.3.3 5.1 and 5.2 ?

If so what is the current release and where can I get
it from. 

Thank you CJ

Hello,
I have not installed Samba yet but before I do I was wondering if it is
possible with Samba to share an internet connection with a Windows XP
computer.  I want to use my computer running Redhat Linux 9.0 (with
Samba) as the dialup for the internet and the Windows XP to connect to
my computer and then out to the internet.  I am new to Linux and all.  I
was just wondering.
Thank you
John
