I am running Samba 2.0.4 on a Solaris 2.6 box. Everything appears to be working OK, except for mapping samba shares from WinNT/Win2k. Some users map shares, and tell them to map every time they log on. Then, once they log off, and log back on, it tries to restore the connection (map) the share. The problem is, it always gives an "Incorrect password" prompt, and asks for the password (even if they logged in with the same password). Once they re-enter the same password, it maps fine. This does not happen with the Win9x folks. Any ideas? Thank you in advance, for any help you can provide. -- Derek Pizzagoni I.T. Manager SBE, Inc. URL: http://www.sbei.com
Have you configured Samba to use encrypted passwords? ("encrypt passwords =
yes"
in smb.conf). Doing that fixed this problem for me. The full procedure is
documented in the file docs/textdocs/ENCRYPTION.txt in the Samba distribution.
