Hello List,
I have been trying to connect from an XP Pro box to
the samba (2.2.2 from RPM on RH7.2) machine. I am
trying a simple (!) configuration with just a
WORKGROUP setup.
XP sees the the box running samba (in the My Network
Places) but cannot see anything below that. I get
"\\BLACK is not accessible. You might not have
permission to use this network resource ..."
Checking the archives of this list I saw many issues
regarding using encrypted passwords and such when
connecting from Win2k or XP, I tried this but did not
work. I feel like I am missing something, I mean it
shouldn't be this hard since no one's had any trouble
(worth mentioning in this list!)
Below is my samba conf file:
--------------------------
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = FUNINC
netbios name = BLACK
server string = Samba Server
security = SHARE
encrypt passwords = Yes
update encrypted = Yes
password level = 6
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[DOCs]
comment = These are my documents
path = /usr/share/doc
read only = No
create mask = 076
guest ok = Yes
----------------------------------
and here's the message I get in my /var/log/messages :
Jan 1 14:31:38 blackhole smbd[3571]: [2002/01/01
14:31:38, 0] smbd/connection.c:yield_connection(62)
Jan 1 14:31:38 blackhole smbd[3571]:
yield_connection: tdb_delete for name failed with
error Record does not exist.
So, what am I missing here?
Thank you for any ideas, pointers.
Abdallah Deeb,
AnG Deeb.

Did you create passwords for your user and machine accounts in passwd and smbpasswd (or whatever authentication backend you are using)?

Unless you are using smbpasswd, you will have to enable plain-text passwords on the client machine (the XP box). I believe the key you want in the registry is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanworkstation\parameters and you will want to change the "enableplaintextpassword" value from a zero to a one. Of course you will have to reboot for this to take effect. I have been using XP Pro for a couple of days with a samba 2.2.1a server with no problems (yet).
