[Samba] Fwd: RE: Newbie Configuration of 2.2.3a on HP-UX 11.0
It's good choice if You first upload Your version of samba with new version http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/operating/hpuxcifs9000/ (Cifs is SAMBA for HP-UX). I use this samba configuration and I have no problem: I suggest You to change security option in security = USER this is better and more secure.Security=share is option for old samba ! You must create unix users , samba users and map windows users with samba user. For example: Your Win user is "name.win" : You must create a unix users "name" (with SAM) than you must create samba user "name" with smbpasswd (also with tools SWAT that is more easy) finally you must map your Win users with samba users. In sam.conf you find this a config-line: username map=/etc/opt/sambausername.map This option allows you to specify a file containing a mapping of usernames from the clients to the server. In this file You must write this record name=name.win root=administrator ecc. Regars Nicola Faravelli EDP - Pibergroup s.r.l. n.faravelli@pibergroup.com I have installed Samba with a depot I downloaded from the HP-UX Porting and Archive Center. We have an intranet site on an HP-UX 11.0 box, and ultimately, my goal is to have links on the Web pages open up files (Word docs, etc.) on various Windows machines (XP, 2000, NT). I'm having difficulty getting Samba to work at all. I've scoured past newsgroup posts, and I'm not finding the solution I need. I have a Windows 2000 PC, and I'm trying to connect to the HP-UX machine. Following is my current smb.conf on the HP machine: [global] workgroup = UNIX security = SHARE encrypt passwords = Yes
