Hello, We have a scientific instrument being controlled by a SparcStation (under SunOS-5.8) and running Samba-2.2.0 that has joined the campus wide W2K3 domain. I am currently in the process of trying to setup the smb.conf file so that users of a W2K3 security group can access a single share on the instrument. If this is pedestrian to ask, please forgive me. W2K3 Security Group = [user.name1, user.name2, user.name3] <smb.conf> # Global parameters [global] workgroup = nsm netbios name = NMR server string = Varian NMR security = DOMAIN browseable = yes client code page = 437 encrypt passwords = Yes password server = nsm-dc10 username map = /usr/local/samba/private/smbusers log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m announce as = NT Workstation announce version = 5.0.2 protocol = NT1 name resolve order = wins host lmhosts socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 os level = 20 preferred master = No local master = Yes domain master = No dns proxy = No wins support = No wins server = 130.253.x.y,130.253.x2.y2,130.253.x3.y3 printing = SYSV load printers = Yes print command = /bin/lp -c -d %p %s; rm %s lpq command = /bin/lpstat -o %p lprm command = /bin/cancel %j %p lppause command = /bin/lp -i %p-%j -H hold lpresume command = /bin/lp -i %p-%j -H resume queuepause command = /bin/disable %p queueresume command = /bin/enable % log level = 2 max log size = 1000 [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /export/home/%u valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 browseable = No [printers] comment = Printers path = /tmp/sambaprn printable = Yes printer driver = null printable = Yes writeable = no use client driver = yes [data] comment = NMR Data path = /u2s/data valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 browseable = No So I succeeded doing the first part, joining the W2K3 domain with the above smb.conf file. However, I fail on the second step, having a single user (myself) access the share. When I attempt to connect to drive //instrument/data I get: [2003/08/24 03:39:25, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1519) domain_client_validate: could not fetch trust account password for domain NSM [2003/08/24 03:39:25, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(526) Couldn't find user 'user.name3' in UNIX password database. [2003/08/24 03:39:25, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(950) NT Password did not match for user 'user.name3'! [2003/08/24 03:39:25, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(960) Defaulting to Lanman password for user.name3 [2003/08/24 03:39:25, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(526) Couldn't find user 'user.name3' in UNIX password database. [2003/08/24 03:39:25, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(975) Rejecting user 'user.name3': authentication failed in my machine.logs. Now if I add myself to the smbpasswd file, I can connect to [data] if I use the password hash in the file, not the domain password. Any thought here would be very helpful. After this works, I will attempt to tackle all users of the W2K3 security group to have access. Thanks, Jim
