samba - Nov 2002 - Not able to see public shares on W2k from Linux

Hi all,

I work with linux and SUSE 8.1 in a W2K PDC environment. I successfully
configured Samba to be able to connect from the Wk2 computers to
linux and vice versa with one exception:
I'm not able to see the public shares of the window computers from linux
(NetShareEnum failed, NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)
unless I provide a username and password. From Windows to Windows it's no
problem
to see the public shares without a password.
Since I thought that it is the
special thing about a public share that you do not need a password
I guess something is wrong...

Information on the PDC:
- Guest account disabled (this might be the answer to the problem)
- It seems that is doesn't make a difference weather the linux computer is
configured at the PDC as a Domain-Member or not (or do we have to reboot the
PDC)


Here is an excerpt of the smbclient printout:
> smbclient -L "NetBiosName" -d 4
Got a positive name query response from "Ip Of NetBiosName"
Connecting to "Ip Of NetBiosName" at port 139
session request ok
Password:
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[NetBiosDomainName] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN
Manager]
session setup ok
tconx ok

??????? Sharename????? Type????? Comment
??????? ---------????? ----????? -------
NetShareEnum failed
Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

??????? Server?????????????? Comment

??????? Workgroup??????????? Master

Thank you for your help

For windows there is no problem, because you are already authenicated against
the pdc. And for this call the windows maschine use the actual user and
passwd. At linux command line you have to setup this explicit.

The actual user/password pair isn't autheticatable against the pdc.
