Hi, My name is Tom Faulhaber. I am the network administrator at a small company in Providence,RI. I am running Samba 2.2.2 on a Redhat 6.1 machine on a Novell 4.21 network. The workstations are Win98SE. The Linux box is being used for the company intranet (Apache 1.3.22). Everything runs fine, however I am completely stumped on one issue (so far). That issue is: network connectivity. If I set the parameter security=share everything is fine, however, if I set security=user I get access denied, password invalid. I have tried setting up username map file without success. While I can live with security=share I want to FTP files into the intranet and I am getting access denied and I have managed to convince myself they are related. I my be wrong. Please, Obi-wan Kenobi, you are my only hope. Any suggestions will be acted upon, and reported back.

I my be wrong.You are wrong. FTP has nothing to do with samba. But they may be related if you have not setup your accounts on the linux box corretly. For the start I would switch the Win-boxes to plaintext passwords (Registry-Key). Use the same usernames and passwords for w98 and the linux box. Look at "guest ok", "map to guest" and "passwd level" in smb.conf. I would try to solve the ftp thing first. May be start with logins on the console of the Linux box to see if the accounts and passwords work. Christian> > Please, Obi-wan Kenobi, you are my only hope.

This also means you'll have to either 1) store encrypted passwords on the samba server for user authentication since Win98SE uses encrypted password by default, or 2) change the registry setting of the Win98SE machines to use plaintext password. The Samba-HOWTO-Collection doc that comes with Samba package explains how to set up a Samba server as PDC.> While I can live with security=share I want to FTP files into the intranet > and I am getting access denied and I have managed to convince myself they > are related. I my be wrong.No, this is not related to Samba. If FTP connection request is denied, then you need to make sure your FTP daemon is running. Kohei

This is configured by a couple of other settings. But a samba PDC must have security=user.> This also means you'll have to either 1) store encrypted > passwords on the samba server for user authentication since Win98SE uses > encrypted password by default, or 2) change the registry setting of the > Win98SE machines to use plaintext password.But the conclusion form security=user is right.
