Hello, I need some help in getting Samba 2.0.7 working with two of my home computers. One is running Windows Me and the other is running Windows 2000 P. On both systems I can browes the shares that I have set up in smb.conf but if I try to access them I get the password problem. On my windows me system I have tried the REG entry of EnablePlainTextPassword. but that made no diffrence. I also get a message after kernal load of (local package initialization:Samba-d:not found) can you tell me what this means and if I'm missing something? Like I said i'm new to Samba and the FreeBSD. But I think I have everything load like it should just can't get the password problem solved.. Please Help Thank Daryl Pelletier -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
Do you really need password protection for your home boxes? Security is a
BIG hassle. IF you don't really need it, put:
security = share
guest ok = yes
guest account = ftp
into your global section and enjoy. Or, just put these into your share
section.
# Global parameters
[global]
security = SHARE
guest account = ftp
hosts allow = 192.168. 127.0.0.1
veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/
veto files = /*.{*}/
[AllFiles]
comment = All Files
path = /
read only = Yes
guest ok = Yes

Without seeing your smb.conf file, I cannot be sure. It is very likely that your guest user, which is ftp ?, doesn't have permissions to write to these directories. The permissions on the unix/linux directory override those allowed by smb.conf. One solution, again for the home user, is to make your guest account your regular user on the linux box. Of course, this will allow anybody to have the same r/w/x permissions as your regular user. If you want to get really wild and crazy, try using guest account = root. That should get you were you want to go. Browse as root! There is probably a sad story or two somewhere in there.

Isn't it great when things work? Intermittent reinforcement. I think that is how they train pigeons and white mice.

I solved all my browsing problems on my home network by installing a wins server. Including subnets.
