Samba 2.2.8a. Since (Free)Swan flew into ground I've started to use openssh to connect to the samba server. So far so good, what I do is to forward 139 and then declare the samba server to be 127.0.0.1 in lmhosts on the Windows WS. It worked well for all XPs Pro that I have tested but in 2 out of 3 W2000 Pro it did not. That is typing in explorer \\sambaserver\drive like I do in XP resulted in a blocked explorer. Of course doing net use X: \\server\drive works but my users are scared to death of the command prompt; I can't seem to be able to do "net use" from a .bat that is without having the user to type the commands and password; I don't even know where to start from as my usual Linux-Ethereal-10MB_plain_old_Hub tool does not work, I don't speak natively blowfish... *ANY* hints would be greatly appreciated. :-|
