I have installed Samba 1.9.18p10 (comes with Debian 2.1 disrtibution) on a LAN consisting of one Linux box (server) and two Windows clients (95 and 98). I can see and use shares on my Linux box but when I am trying to share something on the Windows clients I am asked to add users to give permissions. However, the Windows client cannot find name list of the users. It says something like "You cannot view the name list at this time, try again later". It never works. Am I missing some configuration file? I have added smbpaswd file to Linux box and I have same user accounts on all machines, My smb.conf is as follows workgroup = WORKGROUP security = user domain master = yes domain logons = yes lm announce = yes encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd wins support = no wins proxy = yes printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes [printers] comment = All printers path = /var/spool/lpd/hpdj browseable = no printable = yes public = yes writable = no create mode = 0700 [hpdj] path = /var/spool/lpd/hpdj printer name = lp writable = yes public = yes printable = yes print command = lpr -r -h -P %p %s [homes] comment = Kotihakemistot browseable = no read only = no preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes create mode = 750 -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

You can: 1) use win9x in share-level (leave samba in user-level though) 2) use a workaround consisting in adding registry settings by hand to specify users which are allowed to access your shares in user-level, see: http://bstc.net/~brian/docs/ 3) try samba-2.1 prealpha, but be prepared.. this is the development branch, so you may get some benefits and some problems too. -- giulioo@tiscalinet.it
