Hi all.
I am an NT specialist and quite new to Samba (and fairly to Linux).
I am trying to set up an experimental Samba Server using Samba 2.03 on
Mandrake 5.3 (basically an improved Red-Hat 5.2) and the default kernel
2.0.36.
I followed the HowTos, using Swat in a manner I thought successful.
Doesn't work.
Have no Wins server, using DHCP (successful), caching DNS only (using ISP's
for real work). Network consists of PDC, BDC and hybrid NTwks/98 clients. NT
servers are all SP4 and some of the NT clients too. ALL run NetBEUI (for
security reasons) and most TCP/IP (only 1 segment). PDC runs both protocols,
BDC runs NB only (file server).
Samba server isn't seen by master browser.
Smbclient -L SambaMachine asks for password and whatever supplied is
incorrect. The Samba server is set to send authentication to PDC; does it
need the smbpasswd file?
Help appreciated,
Alexander F.
