Hi !
I have a domain called EMAGIN, composed of NT workstations and an NT server
called SERVER1.In one of the NT workstations, i have also installed linux
mandrake7.2 in a partition. This machine is called kaoutar.
I've installed Samba in it, and tried to join the EMAGIN domain, letting
SERVER1 the domain contoller. I have shared a directory called KTI.
Here is my smb.conf:
"
[global]
netbios name=kaoutar
workgroup = EMAGIN
server string = Samba %v on (%h)
security = domain
password server=SERVER1
encrypt passwords = Yes
local master = no
domain controller=SERVER1
name resolve order =lmhosts wins hosts bcast
mangled names = yes
[KTI]
comment = KI
path = /var/www/html/site_kti
writeable = no
guest ok = Yes
read only =yes
"
I have created a user account in linux and samba with the same
authentication parameters of the NT server administrator.
when i type : smbclient -U% -L LOCALHOST
I first got : unkonwn parameter encountered "domain controller"
then it gives the right results...
----
The %U is only valid in a Samba script, and Localhost does not define the
interface on which Samba is responding which is why you get an error
---
but i realized that it does not make the right resolution for server1, so i
added the ip address of server1 to the /etc/host file then it updated the
error to:
"NT-STATUS-ACCESS-DENIED"
---
Eh, I don't think you understand what you are trying to query.
Try smbclient -L kaoutar -U username
Remember to replace "username" with a VALID SAMBA login name.
If you get a "bad password" error then that user does not exist in
Samba or
on the target machine.
---
and that's also what it gives when i tried to make samba server join the
EMAGIN domain, so obviously samba have not yet joined the domain.
---
Eh, you haven't queried any machine which is part of the domain yet!
How about trying
smbclient -L SERVER1 -U username
---
By the way the "/etc/lmhost" is composed of only one line: 127.0.0.1
localhost !
is it normal ?
---
Yes
---
Well, the NT workstations and server easily access the shared directory!
However, when i try to browse the network via konquekor, it fails, it keeps
asking for server1 and kaoutar authentication.
---
Konqueror does not browse Windows shares by itself!
