I am attempting to setup samba 2.2.1a on a Redhat Linux 6.2 box. When
attempting to run the command: smbclient file://gondola/shareddir -U
tmpuser%tmppass I am getting the error message:
Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are
invalid.
As far as I can tell I have set everything up correctly. I have poured
thru the docs as well as the archives of previous messages for any clues
but have not foud any solutions that seem to fit. The Diagnose text
indicates 4 possible sources of the problem:
- you have shadow passords (or some other password system) but didn't
compile in support for them in smbd
- your "valid users" configuration is incorrect
- you have a mixed case password and you haven't enabled the "password
level" option at a high enough level
- the "path =" line in smb.conf is incorrect. Check it with testparm
- you enabled password encryption but didn't create the SMB encrypted
password file
1) How do I determine if shadow passwords are involved?
2) I believe my valid users is correct but here is my smb.conf:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[global]
netbios name = GONDOLA
workgroup = BALLOON
security = user
encrypt passwords = no
[shareddir]
comment = Shared Directory
path = /shareddir
writeable = yes
valid users = @alltmpusers
locking = yes
create mode = 0444
directory mode = 0444
[homes]
comment = Unix home directory space
path = %H
writeable = yes
valid users = %S
create mode = 0444
directory mode = 0444
locking = no
--------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Password level and encryption are not a question here.
Does anyone have any ideas or where I might turn to for answers?
Thanks,
Steve
