[Samba] why do i have so much trouble accessing an nt box?
I have, on my desk, a FreeBSD-4.5 box and a NT4 box, connected to a kvm switch, and ethernet. I have samba installed and working correctly, and using XFSamba I can see the shares on the NT box. No matter how I set the permissions on the NT box shared folders, I get access denied when trying to access those shares from the FreeBSD box. I also have a printer connected to the FreeBSD box, works great. I can see the printer in the NT Network Neighborhood, but cannot get anything to print to it from NT, I get access denied on the NT box. On the NT box in network neighborhood I can see and access files on the FreeBSD box without any problems. I have had no problems with any of this stuff when using FreeBSD and win95 or win98, only with NT. I do have encrypt passwords = yes set in smb.conf. I am using Samba-2.2.2_3. Any ideas why accessing NT is such a pain in the a..?
