Hi all, I'm trying to access a NT machine through the Internet. First I used an win95 as a client, but since I couldn't get it to work, I used a Linux machine (kernel 2.0.29) with Samba 1.9.18p7 to get some feedback. I did the following: linux01/usr/local/samba/bin> ./smbclient -L ntserver -I a.b.c.d Added interface ip=<myip> bcast=<broadcast> nmask=<netmask> Session request failed (131,130) with myname=LINUX01 destname=NTSERVER Called name not present Try to connect to another name (instead of NTSERVER) You may find the -I option useful for this I grepped around and found the following messages related to the error codes 131,130: nterr.h:#define NT_STATUS_GUIDS_EXHAUSTED (131) nterr.h:#define NT_STATUS_TOO_MANY_GUIDS_REQUESTED (130) Someone could point me where I could learn more about this? What is the meaning of GUIDS? Thanks in advance, -- Paulo Henrique -- Paulo Henrique Mascarenhas Sant'Anna e-mail: phm@fund.cepel.br Analista de Suporte CDIE/CEPEL http://www.cepel.br/~phm
Just recently all but a few of the Win98 samba servers on the network I am connected to seem to be unable to accept session requests. At first I thought it was a faulty version of smbclient, so I upgraded to 2.0.6, but it didn't solve the problem. When I query for master browsers with "nmblookup -M -" a list of master browsers is given. But when I query a master browser for servers, I have been getting the error "session request to ... failed (Called name not present)" I have no clue as to why this should suddenly happen. When I do manage to connect to a valid master browser, I get the same error, but a list of servers is given to me anyway. Any ideas? -Chris Hoefler
Hi guys, Iam very new to samba, I have the o'reilly and SSC books. I have reviewed your archives and Iam still stuck with what I believe to be a very simple problem (for someone who knows SAMBA, which I dont). I have started smbd and nmbd using samba.sh (listed below) this file is located on my 3.3 freebsd server /usr/local/etc/ Both daemons appear to be running but when I preform the 2 commands below to verify they are configured you get the following: # nmblookup -B rapidtest Sending queries to 10.0.0.30 # smbclient -L rapidtest -U '' -N Added interface ip=10.0.0.30 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 session request to RAPIDTEST failed session request to *SMBSERVER failed I have run a testparm on my smb.conf and it has no errors. I have included my smb.conf and samba.sh below to assist. Also see below are my log files Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm running Samba 2.0.5 on RedHat 6.1. Suddenly session request began to fail when attempting to connect using smbclient: session request to SERVER failed session request to *SMBSERVER failed I had been connecting successfully for a number of days prior. No changes were explicitly made to the Samba configuration. A search of the Samba list archive revealed that others have run into similar problems. Diagnosis.txt has a number of suggestions, none of which are applicable. Other documentation points to an error internal to Samba, but offers no fix. Any thoughts that might assist in addressing this problem would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Dave
I have a Unix server that has been connected to an NT box using smbmount for quite some time. All of a sudden I am now getting: session request to [ip address] failed I have rebooted the NT machine assuming that it was at fault, but I still get the error. We have not made any changes to this system. Does anyone have any suggestions? I had upgraded the smb clients to 2.0.7 about a month or so ago, but it worked fine then. Thanks, Gill Potter Discreet Medical Solutions p: 646-865-0720 ext. 200 f: 646-865-0717 c: 917-754-7669 gill@discreetmeds.com

You write ip address and not a machine name, what does the command you use to mount look like? I am not sure what the purpose of session requests are, but they are done right after connecting before any authentication (login) or even protocol negotiation is done. It involves exchanging NetBios name information. More info can be found in "rfc1002.txt 4.3 and 4.3.2", maybe reading that will tell you something. Perhaps someone has renamed something ... ? You could try giving both an ipnumber and the name of the server in the mount command, like this: % mount -t smbfs -o username=foo,ip=1.2.3.4 //netbiosname/share /mnt/smb /Urban
I've been going through the DIAGNOSIS.txt file trying to figure out why my PCs are only seeing IPC$ on my Samba server, and I've reached an interesting problem. When running smbclient -L WWW (the name of the host) I get: added interface ip=209.190.205.236 bcast=209.190.205.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=192.168.2.69 bcast=192.168.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 session request to WWW failed (Not listening for calling name) session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening for calling name) Smbd is definitely running, along with nmbd (I started both manually with the -D option). Why would it not be listening? Is this likely the cause of my IPC$ error? Thanks, Alex Le Fevre __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Alex, It might be helpful to post your smb.conf file, along with your network setup for the machine you are running this on; it almost sounds like your WWW name is being resolved to an ip address where samba is not listening...

Hi Alex, I think it may have to do with your hosts allow line; where you specify your 192 subnet, and your localhost subnet, but not the 209 subnet. From your hosts file, I would expect smbclient (and samba server) to resolve www to the 209 address, since it is the 1st entry in the hosts file that matches, and that host ip address is not going to be allowed as a client. To test this, temporarily remove your hosts allow line in smb.conf and restart samba and try again.

Alex, I would vote for trying a) first, withOUT a hosts allow then try b. I can't imagine a situation where a change to /etc/hosts would require a reboot, though. One thing, I don't know the OS you are using at all, but are we sure the /etc/hosts file is what is resolving your names? on HP-UX there is a /etc/resolve.conf file that if it exists and has a dns server that is connectable, then the /etc/hosts file is not used, but instead the dns server is used. doing an nslookup on www should tell you whether the info is comming from etc/hosts or a dns server, as well as WHAT address the name www is being resolved to. Give that a shot, and I hope it helps! don -----Original Message----- From: Alex Le Fevre [mailto:alexlefevre@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2001 4:26 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: RE: Session Request Failed> To test this, temporarily remove your hosts allow > line in smb.conf and > restart samba and try again.No such luck.

I'm having a problem as I try to set up samba-2.0.3 for the first time. On
my Linux machine (Red Hat 6.0), I have "smbd -D -d 2" running in the
background. The installation is the default set up by the Red Hat rpm,
except that I added the "-d 2" option to smbd. At this point, I'm
just
trying to get a list of available services from a Win98 machine that is set
to allow printer sharing. The two machines are both on a Netgear hub. The
Win98 machine is 192.168.0.2 and listed as "nancy" in my hosts file.
When I
run
smbclient -d A -L nancy
I get a "session request failed" message. The complete output is
shown at
the end of this post.
According to the DIAGNOSIS.txt file provided with samba, this is a failure of
TEST 3. The following additional info is probably relevant:
Running "testparm smb.conf" turns up no errors. The settings
include:
hosts allow hosts deny bind interfaces only = No
I tried
hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.
which also failed.
The Linux box and the Win98 machine can ping each other.
My inetd.conf does not call smbd. The only one running is the one I started
with "start /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb".
There are no errors in the log.smb and log.nmb files.
I'd be grateful for some ideas of what to try next. My ultimate goal is to
access an HP DeskJet on the Windows machine from Linux. Thanks.

Having read the man pages and faqs, I posted a question last week to both comp.protocols.smb and this mail list. (I am using the same Subject header I used last week.) I got no response, so let me try to simplify the question. I am trying to use samba-2.0.3 to get from my Linux machine to a Win98 machine. When I run "smbclient -L" and get a "session request failed" message, is the problem confined to the Samba installation on my Linux machine, or can this also happen because the Win98 machine is denying permissions? As I mentioned in the original post, there are no testparm or logfile errors, and the two machines can ping each other. Thanks.

I had some similar problems. I upgraded samba to 2.0.7 (latest as of this writing), but the thing that solved this problem was upgrading my kernel from the 2.2.14 that come with RH 6.2 to 2.2.18.
