Hi, sorry if this is a common problem that I just couldn't find in the documentation, but I've been trying to be able to access my shares on a Mandrake box from a Win2k client. There is a user on the Mandrake server named "mike", and my user name for Win2k is also "mike" (I originally tried with Administrator, with user mapping, but that was giving me problems so I thought I'd try changing the name). Anyhow, I am trying to use the home directories feature. I did smbpasswd -a mike, and entered in my password, restarted samba, then tried to connect. I can see the "mike" folder in windows, so I think it is detecting my user correctly (browsable = no for homes) but when I try to enter the directory, it says incorrect password. I type in my password and try to log in again (with user "mike") and it still says incorrect password. I looked in the logs (/var/log/samba/log.mike) but I don't think I even see myself getting rejected. What can I do to fix this? It isn't just the [homes] share, I tried another directory shared with valid users = mike, and it still didn't work. Public shares do work, however. A few values I thought might be needed: security = share username map = /etc/smbusers [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes Thanks for any help. - mike mikeyboy@uclink.berkeley.edu -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
