We have started to upgrade or Unix servers from Samba 2.0.7 to Samba 2.2.5. I did one machine as test and all worked fine. Today I tried adding two more today and both come up with the "Incorrect password or unknown username" box in Windows Explorer. All the Unix servers are running Solaris 7. I did the make on an NFS file system once and then ran 'make install' on each machine as I had done with 2.0.7. The PDC runs Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 6.0. Using server manager I removed the samba server from the Domain, readded it as a workstation and then ran 'smbpasswd -j HR -r DRIZZLE'. It then showed up as a Samba 2.2.5 server on the server manager. smbclient -U% -L localhost shows for the one that works: superior# smbclient -U% -L localhost added interface ip=192.9.200.121 bcast=192.9.203.255 nmask=255.255.252.0 Domain=[HR] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.5] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- cmp_aps Disk cmp_aps tideway Disk tideway test Disk Test account IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 2.2.5) ADMIN$ Disk IPC Service (Samba 2.2.5) Server Comment --------- ------- DRIZZLE ISS - General server SUPERIOR Samba 2.2.5 Workgroup Master --------- ------- HR DRIZZLE and for one of the failures: chub# smbclient -U% -L localhost added interface ip=192.9.200.9 bcast=192.9.203.255 nmask=255.255.252.0 Domain=[HR] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.5] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- chub Disk chub work store IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 2.2.5) ADMIN$ Disk IPC Service (Samba 2.2.5) Server Comment --------- ------- CHUB Samba 2.2.5 DRIZZLE ISS - General server Workgroup Master --------- ------- HR DRIZZLE The working machine superior has the following smb.conf file: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 192.9.201.3 (192.9.201.3) # Date: 2002/06/20 15:26:04 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = HR security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = DRIZZLE HAIL SNOW username map = /etc/samba/usermap.txt log file = /var/log/samba socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY load printers = No os level = 0 dns proxy = No read only = No create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 [cmp_aps] comment = cmp_aps path = /export/cmp_aps [tideway] comment = tideway path = /export/tideway [test] comment = Test account path = /cmp_aps/daveer/temp.dir/test inherit permissions = Yes inherit acls = Yes The failing machine chub: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from dhcp262 (192.9.203.8) # Date: 2000/12/04 16:14:57 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = HR security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = DRIZZLE HAIL SNOW username map = /etc/samba/usermap.txt log file = /var/log/samba socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY load printers = No os level = 0 dns proxy = No read only = no create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 [chub] comment = chub work store path = /chub Both are very similar in setup so am surprised when I can access the shares for superior, but not chub. The Unix permissions seem fine.
