Okay - all I'm trying to do here is smbclient from my Slackware Linux box (SNUFFY) to my Windows NT 4.0 SP3 Server (BURT). Burt is a BDC and is participating in WINS via my internal WINS Server. The Scope ID for the WINS Server is HARVESTWEB - but I'm not sure how to set that in SAMBA. My password server (I assume) should be my PDC with is GROVER (146.115.109.8) Eventually, I want to be able to mount shared directories from BURT on SNUFFY with smbfs - but I wanna get this to work first... A typescript of what happens is listed below along with my smb.conf file... If anyone has any ideas (up to and including smacking me upside the head for doing something stoopid) please let me know. Many many many thanks in advance. -- inserted stuff -- # smbclient \\\\burt\\c Added interface ip=146.115.109.10 bcast=146.115.109.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Session request failed (131,130) with myname=SNUFFY destname=BURT Called name not present Try to connect to another name (instead of BURT) You may find the -I option useful for this # smbclient \\\\burt\\c -I 146.115.109.1 Added interface ip=146.115.109.10 bcast=146.115.109.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Session request failed (131,130) with myname=SNUFFY destname=BURT Called name not present Try to connect to another name (instead of BURT) You may find the -I option useful for this # cat ../lib/smb.conf # Samba config file created using SWAT # from ernie.biginternet.com (146.115.109.3) # Date: 1998/09/12 14:46:23 # Global parameters workgroup = HARVEST netbios name = SNUFFY server string = Snuffy the Linux Box security = SERVER encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted = Yes password server = 146.115.109.8 log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY local master = No dns proxy = No wins server = 146.115.109.7 case sensitive = Yes [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon guest ok = Yes share modes = No [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = No guest ok = Yes # exit -- end insertion -- -- Benjamin J.
