samba - Nov 2001 - Issues with Samba / NT

I wish your help files were more descriptive.

I can't get the NT box to connect to the samba share ... due to some
permission bullshit.

You needs a knowledge base ... i cant find the error im getting, anywhere on
their site ...

Searching via a search engine -- says that:-

when you're upgrading to SP3 on NT, samba will stop working unless you put
the regkey EnablePlainTextPassword ... but that doesnt work ... i suspect
its at the unix end ...

Not the best way to ask for help.

How do you think your mechanic would respond if you drove upto his garage, 
screeched to a halt told him the car wasn't working and then walked off. 
Not
all too dis-similar to your arival on this list.

Please state the nature of the medical emergency.

It would be handy if you told us:
What version of NT you're running (incl.  service pack) ?
What version of samba, did you build it yourself ? 
Is this a new install of an upgrade ?
What OS your samba box ?
and indeed the error message you recieve.
maybe even your smb.conf file.

Any other information about what you have done to locate the problem and any
general information you think might be helpfull.

http://samba.org/samba/docs/DIAGNOSIS.html

Is a great document, have a read through it, and try out some of the
steps.  Let us know where you get stuck.


Yours Tony.
