Hi, I've installed Samba on AIX 4.3 machine named ibmf40, and the domain name is vercom. This is how the smb.conf file looks: [global] netbios name = ibmf40 workgroup = vercom server string = Samba Server security = user However I get an error when trying to run smbclient as follows: ibmf40 /usr/local/samba/bin # ./smbclient -L ibmf40 -N added interface ip=65.45.28.4 bcast=65.45.28.31 nmask=255.255.255.224 added interface ip=192.168.1.6 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) Anyone have an idea why this happens?
Hello Abdullah, this can happen if the guest account that samba uses is not present in the /etc/passwd file. typically this is the user 'nobody', which some sites remove from the /etc/passwd file for security purposes. Do a testparm|grep "guest account" to see what your version of samba has defined for the guest account, then make sure that that user is defined in your /etc/passwd file. Hope this helps, Don -----Original Message----- From: Abdullah Jibaly [mailto:AJibaly@VERCOM.com] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 1:40 PM To: 'samba@lists.samba.org' Subject: smbclient error Hi, I've installed Samba on AIX 4.3 machine named ibmf40, and the domain name is vercom.

Hello All, I have a Linux and a Windows2k network. The Windows pc can "see" the Linux pc. But I can't get Windows on Linux up; I had this working, but don't know why it's not working now: I've looked thru the DIAGNOSTICS.txt file and could not find the error: smbclient //192.168.2.20/ added interface ip=192.168.2.4 bcast=192.168.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 session request to 192.168.2.20 failed (Called name not present) session request to 192 failed (Called name not present) Password: Domain=[MAKEMEWORK] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name) thank you for your help.

By messing with smblcient, I get that error when I try: smbclient \\\\192.168.0.1\\AllFiles instead of the netbios name for the host: smbclient \\\\hammer1\\AllFiles Joel> what does "called name not present" mean? >
Incorrect entries in the DNS - , Try senging a ping to the dns name of the server - ping <server_name>, and reverse lookup, ping the ip address of your linx box. If this does not resolve your dns name to ip address you problem is with your DNS config on your linux box. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joel Hammer" <Joel@HammersHome.com> To: "Lamar Seifuddin" <lamarts@flash.net>; <samba@lists.samba.org> Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 3:48 AM Subject: Re: smbclient error> By messing with smblcient, I get that error when I try: > smbclient \\\\192.168.0.1\\AllFiles > instead of the netbios name for the host: > smbclient \\\\hammer1\\AllFiles > Joel > > > > what does "called name not present" mean? > > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
