(not subscribed to list. Please reply to all) I am running samba 2.0.7 on Redhat 7. The problem is this: The servername appears in our local NT domain (DEV), but is not accessible directly (error: \\sourcectrl-dell is not accessible. The account is not authorized to log in from this station). However, if you attempt to connect to the name.domain, it works fine (e.g. \\sourcectrl-dell.dev). It's more of a hassle than anything else, but it does cause problems. Here is the conf file and a log snippet: [global] workgroup = DEV encrypt passwords = yes map to guest = Bad Password null passwords = yes keepalive = 30 load printers = no kernel oplocks = no hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 protocol = NT1 debug level = 3 comment = RedHat 7.0 [resinservletengine] comment = Working on Red Hat? path = /opt/resin guest account = nobody writeable = yes guest ok = yes max connections = 300 preserve case = yes =============== [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(258) Allowed connection from mike.dev.nethesive.com (192.168.0.162) [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 3] smbd/process.c:process_smb(618) Transaction 0 of length 72 [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(97) netbios connect: name1=SOURCECTRL-DELL name2=MIKE [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 3] smbd/process.c:process_smb(618) Transaction 1 of length 137 [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 3] smbd/process.c:switch_message(448) switch message SMBnegprot (pid 26753) [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 3] smbd/negprot.c:reply_negprot(341) Requested protocol [PC NETWORK PROGRAM 1.0] [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 3] smbd/negprot.c:reply_negprot(341) Requested protocol [LANMAN1.0] [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 3] smbd/negprot.c:reply_negprot(341) Requested protocol [Windows for Workgroups 3.1a] [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 3] smbd/negprot.c:reply_negprot(341) Requested protocol [LM1.2X002] [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 3] smbd/negprot.c:reply_negprot(341) Requested protocol [LANMAN2.1] [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 3] smbd/negprot.c:reply_negprot(341) Requested protocol [NT LM 0.12] [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 3] smbd/negprot.c:reply_negprot(424) Selected protocol NT LM 0.12 [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 3] smbd/process.c:timeout_processing(856) end of file from client [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(408) Closing connections [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 2] smbd/server.c:main(746) Changed root to / [2000/11/29 12:39:04, 3] smbd/oplock.c:open_oplock_ipc(86) open_oplock_ipc: opening loopback UDP socket.
