I have installed samba 1.9.18p10 on AIX 4.2.1. I have tested successfully through test 8 in diagnosis. In test 9 the client returns bad password. When I test this same user/password combination with smbclient it works fine. Here is my smb.conf file: [global] printing = AIX printcap name = /etc/qconfig load printers = yes guest account = nobody print command = qprt -P%p -dp %s ; This next option sets a separate log file for each client. Remove ; it if you want a combined log file. ; log file = /usr/local/samba/log.%m ; You will need a world readable lock directory and "share modes=yes" ; if you want to support the file sharing modes for multiple users ; of the same files ; lock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/locks ; share modes = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes read only = no create mode = 0750 guest ok = yes [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = no printable = yes guest ok = yes writable = no create mode = 0700 print command = qprt -P%p -dp %s [rootdir] path = / public = yes guest ok = yes browseable = yes read only = no [mpftestdir] path = /mpftest browseable = yes read only = no user = mpf I am having problems with the mpftestdir share. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Mark Freeh Systems Administrator Janesville Products
