Strange "No permission to access resource" msgs from win95
Hi, I've been using Samba for a while in lots of places and this is the first time I've encountered this problem: I'm using 1.9.18p7 on solaris-2.6, there's a large PC network here with win95 and winNT machines all belonging to a different workgroup then the samba machine. There are no problems with the winNT clients. However, the win95 machines sometimes give the following error messages _before_ it even gets to the password prompt when I try to access (ie double click) on the samba server in the network neighbourhood: "No permission to access resource" with a big red stop sign! I can't get any further. This is very intermittent, it could be OK 5 minutes later and I didn't change anything... Once I do manage to get in, I can map the shares as network drives, the user just types the passwd when they log in to win95 and there are no further problems. The samba server is always _visible_ (ie. the Icon) in the net. hood. I'm using a global "security = user" and I've tried various different domain/wins/os-level settings in smb.conf. There are no pertinent messages in the logs at debug level 2. The win95 machines have "Banyan Vines" (YUK!) domain logons. I don't have any allow/deny settings. Any Ideas anyone? Thanks in advance.
