Hi, We have a samba server 2.2.4 in a RH 6.2 Linux system. I should say that the samba server is working well except for a win2000 workstation. For this win2000, the user can mount network drive to the samba server, e.g. H: to \\sambaserver\username, it asks the password, if entered correctly. it is connected. No problem at all. However, if the user reboots the win2000, the poblem comes. The drive name H: is there, but he cannot connect to the samba server. It keeps asking the password, saying password incorrect. If the user dismount the drive H:, then mount the drive H: to \\sambaserver\username again, then everything is fine -- he enters the correct password and get connected. Every time when he reboots the win2000, he has the same problem. At the same time, our other windows (95/98/me/nt/xp) don't have such problem. Unfortunately, we have only one win2000, so cannot test other machine. We already set EnablePlainTextPassword = 1, and use security=user at the samba server. Is it because win2000 has something particular? How to fix it? Thanks!

I attribute this to a Windows 2000 bug. I have 30+ machines here, almost all of which are windows 2000. Anytime they are trying to connect to a machine as a different username, the password/username being used for the share do not get correctly saved. I have not, however, tried connecting to a share on a windows server using a different username. I presume it will exhibit the same behavior. Maybe I'll try it out later today. --Kaleb On Tuesday 15 October 2002 07:15 am, you wrote:> Hi, > > We have a samba server 2.2.4 in a RH 6.2 Linux system.

I have several(about 20)win98 and (about 30) window2000 clients accessing a dos application on our mandrake 8.2 samba 2.2.2 server and all of our win98 machines run fine with the application, but on several or most all of the window2000 machines they get disconnected from the network when trying to "write" to or save (within the shared application). I realize that it is the client disconnected rather than replying to a valid break packet, but does anyone know why and how this can be fixed? It freezes the 2000 machines and they need to be rebooted and of course non of the information gets saved so they must start with that file all over again. I have a few unhappy people and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

Amy, I believe that the first thing to do would be to upgrade to the latest Samba release. That alone could take care of your problem. In my perusing of the mailing list, I have seen many posts relating to issues with Windows 2000 prior to the Samba 2.2.5-10 release that I have installed as a PDC at our offices here. Perhaps those issues were resolved with configuration changes. However, I know that I haven't experienced any of the posted issues when I went to install Samba as a PDC here a few weeks back. Hopefully, upgrading will resolve the issue for you. Hmm... I was just thinking... How long have you had Samba up and running for your systems? Did something recently change on your Windows 2000 systems, or have they always experienced this issue? If it is only a recent thing, then I would recommend checking to make sure that the "Automatic Update" (Pisses me off to all hell) Service is not running on your Windows 2000 Workstations. If it is, then they might have recently downloaded a nice little "fix" from MS that tosses your Samba server for a loop. In any case, you might be able to uninstall whatever "fix" was recently added to the machine. Good luck! Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.

The power to obstruct Samba by way of automatic "fixes" is in M$ hands. They experienced the same hostile treatment from AOL when they were warring over Instant Messenger. If you know of any disturbing fixes, please name them as an alert.
