Dear all:
I used the samba-2.0.6 under Red Hat 5.2 for a period of time. (I used
samba server, not client.) It works fine. Recently, I found one strange
problem when I use "Find Computer" from MS-Windows 98. I hope someone
could help me to solve this problem.
----> Samba Server got a user (user1) with a password (pass1) (Both
/etc/passwd and /etc/smbpasswd used this username and password)
Enable encrypt password (encrypt password=yes) in Samba Server.
Windows 98 used "windows loggin" with user "user1"
without
password.
Then, I can use the resource of the Samba Server through "Network
Neighborhood". (Ex. workgroup --> ServerName --> ShareName -->
Copy/Del...) It's all O.K..
But, if I use "Find Computer" from the "Program Task".
It will get
the result "No Data". (It can't find my Samba Server.)
Furthermore, if I loggin MS-Windows 98 with user "user1" and
password "pass1" or I re-configured the Samba Server that the user1
without any password, the "Find Computer" in MS-Windows 98 will find
the
Samba Server.
====> I don't know why the "Find Computer" needs to pass the
authentication. It only needs to find the location. (We haven't login
yet!)
And if I access the Samba Server through the "Network
Neighborhood", it will appear a authentication popup box. Then I can
re-type the password and login without any problem. But the "Find
Computer" even doesn't show my Samba Server. (This made the user who
want to access my Samba Server by across segment can't find my
resource.)
If anyone know the reason or the solutions, please tell me.
Thank you very much.
