I am having a problem getting samba to work with terminal server. My smb.conf file looks like: [global] workgroup = TOTALFLOOD server string = Samba Server security = SERVER encrypt passwords = Yes password server = atlantic username map = /etc/samba/smbusers log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 dns proxy = No printing = lprng ...etc which works fine with workstations. However, whenever logging onto terminal server with a domain account, I cannot get samba to give the user access. The server just keeps asking for a name and password but will not accept any combination. A local account on the terminal server works fine if the username and password are the same as for the domain account. I tried using a sniffer to determine what the difference is but, swelp me, I cannot see it. Any ideas how to fix this? I am using samba v2.2.1a on Redhat 7.0. -- -- Stephen Carville UNIX and Network Administrator Ace Flood USA 310-342-3602 stephen@totalflood.com
change security to domain and add machine account into domain add samba into domain -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Carville [mailto:stephen@totalflood.com] Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 7:24 AM To: Samba List Subject: Terminal Server and Samba I am having a problem getting samba to work with terminal server.

A workaround for this is to put an entry in your crontab file to restart the Samba server. Ken Rory D.

Hello there everybody, I have been doing some reading about Samba and terminal server, I am currently running in a Citrix Terminal Server environment with Windows Service Pack 4. It looks like it is a known issue that for whatever reason the Samba server will not allow connections at a certain time. I have been given workarounds in the past (i.e. create several different hostnames for the same ip address), but there still reaches a critical mass on my server (about 40 users). The server is hardly sweating, but this is causing major problems with my users. I was hoping that perhaps in some newer versions of Samba this problem might have been addressed. Has it? Please let me know, any information regarding this would be great. Rory
