Hello everybody I have trouble with my Samba server (1.9.16.P11 or 1.9.18.p0) / LinuX Redhat 4.2 (or SuSE 5.3)(kernel 2.0.30). Here my typo: 1 Samba server 10 Windows 95 clients 2 Windows 98 ....(I 'm a poor guy I know !!) All work fine when the windows users log on the server with different name . (I try with "netlogon" and without it). They have valid unix account and password (I don't use smbpassword) But as the network is in a school, I don't want (and have the time) to create a account for every students (not really students they are ~6 years old !! ). So I decide to create only 5 account : -monday -thuesday ... And on Monday all users use monday as login and "dummy_pass" for password. So when 2 users logon with this method (same login/password) .. that work fine They have access to the server .. with the right ownership(all the same) But when they try to logout they have a nice blanck screen and that all !! wait ... nothing .. The only thing that work is switch-off !! That was a big problem Now I want to find what can I do arround it ? -Is it a Windows 95 bug (more more !! ) -samba (I don't think) -A configuration ..( I join with this mail my smb.conf) Note that I try both with netlogon off and one .. and profile sharing disable . The problem is the same Thkx a lot for all answer .. -------------- next part -------------- ; The global setting for a RedHat default install ; smbd re-reads this file regularly, but if in doubt stop and restart it: ; /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop ; /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start ;======================= Global Settings ====================================[global] ; workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: REDHAT4 workgroup = WORKGROUP ; comment is the equivalent of the NT Description field comment = RedHat Samba Server ; volume = used to emulate a CDRom label (can be set on a per share basis) volume = RedHat4 ; printing = BSD or SYSV or AIX, etc. printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes ; Uncomment this if you want a guest account guest account = smb log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m ; Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb) max log size = 50 ; 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 = /var/lock/samba locking = yes strict locking = no fake oplocks = no share modes = yes read prediction = yes ; Security modes: USER uses Unix username/passwd, SHARE uses WfW type passwords ; SERVER uses a Windows NT Server to provide authentication services security = user ; security = server ; Use password server option only with security = server ; password server = p2 ; Configuration Options ***** Watch location in smb.conf for side-effects ***** ; Where %m is any SMBName (machine name, or computer name) for which a custom ; configuration is desired ; include = /etc/smb.conf.%m ; Performance Related Options ; Before setting socket options read the smb.conf man page!! socket options = TCP_NODELAY ; Socket Address is used to specify which socket Samba ; will listen on (good for aliased systems) ; socket address = aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd ; Use keep alive only if really needed!!!! ; keep alive = 60 ; Domain Control Options ; OS Level gives Samba the power to rule the roost.
