[phoenix@minion.de: win95/95 clientside password changes?]
Hey all, I have a samba server installed for a medium/small network with roughly 25 windows client machines. The all use domain logons and mount various shares depending on which groups they belong to. The server is a debian machine (v2.2 kernel 2.2.18) with samba version 2.0.7 running on it (debian default). While I was able to figure out most problems I had, I was unable to figure out what might be causing these: 1) When trying to change a user password from a windows client, it appears that the clients attempt to change the password for user nobody. This seems odd since they previously logged on to the server with the respective usernames. User nobody does not exist on the system. I have the server set up to synchronize the smb/ unix passwords - this seems to work fine, I tested it by mapping nobody to a random user and attempting to change the password. So the question is, how do I get the windows client machines to use the appropriate usernames? (I have support for encrypted passwords enabled) 2) The other oddness only happens with windows95 client machines. They log on to the domain then download / execute the appropriate script. The first time a win95 client does so after a boot, this works nicely - logging off and back on however, it still seems to execute the script, but it doesn't map the network drives. I can manually map them afterwards, but this seems awkward ... Any ideas? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- christian zander we come to bury dos, not to praise it. phoenix@minion.de -- paul vojta --------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
