First of, thanks to Robert Dahlem who pointed out that my "error 131" was due to using a hosts allow statement, but not allowing 127. to connect A new problem... I compiled samba on Solaris (Sparc) 2.6 with v4.2 of the sun CC compiler. It compiles just fine, and I appear to have a working binary. I run into problems when trying to connect using smbclient. It works if I specify my username (using -U), but otherwise it won't connect. Both NT and Sharity _seem_ to connect fine - I just tried them.. when I could connect with smbclient, i asssumed the build was bad, so I hadn't tried earlier. Anyways here's a transcript of the problem... felix% whoami liamr felix% smbclient -L felix Added interface ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx bcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) felix% smbclient -L felix -U liamr Added interface ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx bcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: Domain=[GPCC] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.0beta4] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- tmp Disk Temporary file space IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server v2.0.0beta4 on felix) Server Comment --------- ------- FELIX Samba Server v2.0.0beta4 on felix LITTERBOX Samba Server v1.9.18p10 on litterbox SUNSHINE Workgroup Master --------- ------- WORKGROUP SUNSHINE felix%
