Samba Gurus: I just upgraded from samba-1.9.15p8 to samba-1.9.18p8 on one of our Sun boxes (Solaris 2.5.1). When I try to connect to the samba server from another machine with smbclient I get the following error message: smbclient -L odin Added interface ip=192.10.11.32 bcast=192.10.11.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Server time is Wed Oct 28 15:17:47 1998 Timezone is UTC-5.0 Password: Session setup failed for username=ABC myname=BIGSERVER destname=NEWSERVER ERRSRV - ER Rbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) You might find the -U, -W or -n options useful Sometimes you have to use `-n USERNAME' (particularly with OS/2) Some servers also insist on uppercase-only passwords As you can see, it is complaining about the name/password pair: why? We are not using shadow passwords so I did not compile it in. We do run NIS. I can use net use or net view from a Windows client to successfully connect to the machine. There are no entries in smb.conf that I am aware of that would cause a problem. Security is set to user. Below are the key segments of the smb.conf file and the Makefile. smb.conf: [global] nis homedir = true # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup = pcnet guest account = pcguest # Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See # security_level.txt for details. security = user # Password Level allows matching of _n_ characters of the password for # all combinations of upper and lower case. password level = 8 # You may wish to use password encryption. Please read # ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation. # Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents ; encrypt passwords = yes # Case Preservation can be handy - system default is _no_ # NOTE: These can be set on a per share basis preserve case = yes short preserve case = no # Default case is normally upper case for all DOS files ; default case = lower # Be very careful with case sensitivity - it can break things! ; case sensitive = no #============================ Share Definitions ============================= Makefile: # This is for SUNOS5.4 and later (also known as Solaris 2.4 and later) # contributed by Andrew.Tridgell@anu.edu.au FLAGSM = -DSUNOS5 -DNETGROUP -DFAST_SHARE_MODES -DAUTOMOUNT LIBSM = -lsocket -lnsl AWK = nawk I've installed samba successfully on many of our Sun boxes and this is the first time I've encountered this problem. Any suggestions?

Hello all, This is the first problem I have had with samba, that I can't find the answer to, since I first started to work with samba. I am running DecUNIX 4.0d and I was running 1.19.18p10 on a test server and everything worked fine. I downloaded, compiled and installed samba 2.0.0. I am using the same smb.conf file for 2.0.0 that I used for 1.19.18p10. The problem I have is this. When on the actual server and I run: smbclient -L info I get: Added interface ip=blah, blah blah, it's correct info. Password: (I press return) Gives me the proper info for the server. I have never been asked for a password for this command before. smbclient //info/tmp (a guest account) added interface ip=.... Password: ( I press return) Session setup failed: ERRSRV - Errbadpw (Bad Password pair on a Tree Connect or session setup are invalid.) If I map a network drive to \\info\tmp on a pc it connects fine. smbclient //info/user (not a guest account) added interface ip=... Password: (I enter the correct password) Session setup failed: ERRSRV - Errbadpw (Bad Password pair on a Tree Connect or session setup are invalid.) If I map a network drive to \\info\user on a pc I get the error: The password is incorrect. Try again. So what am I doing wrong or what changed at 2.0.0?

Hi all, I have a redhat 5.2 system just installed, (clean out of the box) and I have installed the samba rpm ver 2.0.2 dated 19990209. I am having problems with the password. Because I am using winNT + sp3, I need to use encrypted mode (unless I do some funky registry stuff). So I specified the smbpassword file to be /home/samba/smbpasswd... I changed the permissions on the file and it's parent as specified. I changed my password using smbpasswd. I saw that the smbpassword file changed. The problem I run into is that when I try smbclient -L <local host name> I am promted for a password. If I hit enter, I see the public shares... If I enter my password, I get back the badPassword message When I go over to the winNT machine, I could not open the machine without typing in a password (which did not work.. How could it? It's not even working on the local machine) Then I changed my smb.conf file to say share level securety rather then user level.. This let my winNT machine open the machine and see some public shares... However I still have the problem of getting into my user's shares.. they can't log in.. What to do? HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Hi All, I?m starting with samba 2.0.3 and I have the problem that I get the errormessage: bad password. The server is a HPUX-Sytem and the client Win95. I?m try the tests on DIAGNOSE.html. smbclient -L BIGSERVER produce following error: Added interface ip=130.96.200.15 bcast=130.96.201.255 nmask=255.255.254.0 session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) The password is correct. Here is the smb.conf-configuration with the share tmp. It is the standard-configuration that is coming with samba.

Also, you should not enter a password for this command; just hit return. I get a list of the samba shares, the browse list, and the workgroup list, however, my samba box is the local/domain master browser, and we don't have NT server (only NT4 workstation and win9x clients). Hope this helps, Steve ****************************************************************** Stephen L Arnold http://www.rain.org/~sarnold #include <std_disclaimer.h> ******************************************************************

Try encrypt passwords = Yes. If that doesn't work, set turn off password encryption in your win-95 client. -- Eddie http://www1.tpgi.com.au/users/eirvine/index.html ________________________________________________
hello everyone..
i ve had samba running on rh 5.2 boxes for a long time now.
i ve just put a rh 6.1 box together and for some reason when I run
smbclient -L richland
and enter the password to view the shairs I get bad password password pair
tree .....
I had tried pwconv to see if it was that the passwords were shadowed
and that might be the prob. but it didnt make any difference
something i ve missed in the updated version ?

On a HP_UX 11.0 system which is running NIS for both host and UID/password resolution, when I do the following: smbclient //rcnfs/tmp -Uel08532 I get the following error: Session setup failed for username=el80532 workgroup=RC.DMN myname=RCNFS destname=RCNFS ERRSRV -ERRbadpw (Bad password -name/password pair in Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid) If I move the password entry for that user to the password file, things work as they should making the session connection. When the password entry is part of NIS iI can login using the same userid and password. I have looked through the archives (doing a search for bad password) and found other questions but no answers. Any suggestions?? Thanks Warren Steffen wsteffen@bwn.net
