Hello all,
I've set perms on /home/samba/private and /home/samba/private/smbpasswd, and
made smbpasswd with the script. I'm on the third step of the diagnostic test
at
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/DIAGNOSIS.html and I'm getting this error
message right after I enter root or user password (doesn't matter which):
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a
Tree Connect
According to the docs:
"If you get a error message containing the string "Bad password"
then
you probably have either an incorrect "hosts allow", "hosts
deny" or
"valid users" line in your smb.conf, or your guest account is not
valid. Check what your guest account is using "testparm" and
temporarily remove any "hosts allow", "hosts deny",
"valid users" or
"invalid users" lines."
Now, having run testparm I have these lines:
"guest account = nobody
invalid users valid users guest only = No
guest ok = No
only user = No
hosts allow hosts deny =Y"
So I think my guest account is the culprit. In /etc/smb.conf there's the
guest=pcguest which is currently commented out.
Now, to get around having to sync passwords between *nix and NT, I'm trying
to
follow the directions given in DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt. Unfortunately, I get this
result:
[root@hapkido samba]# smbpasswd -j HR -r DYLAN
cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT
cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed
modify_trust_password: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine DYLAN.
Error was : NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT.
1999/08/24 17:46:28 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change password
for domain HR.
Unable to join domain HR.
However, my samba server appears fine in Server Manager on NT.
Any tips to untangle this?
Thanks,
--

What references would you recommend for setting up Samba from scratch? I have approximately 125 W95, W98 & NT4.0 machines networked on a TCP/IP ethernet LAN and roughly 200 Sun boxes running Solaris 2.51 & Solaris 2.7. I want to be able to have everyone communicate, map home drives and authenticate passwords from the same Unix Server. I was told Samba could be used for this purpose. Kemmith Mosley

Hi to you all, I'm setting up a network to where I have Linux and W2k Active Directory.I have Redhat 8.0 and i want it to see and access file between the two OS'S. I downloaded the latest samba binaries 3.0.2 and edit the smb.conf.How do i know if my linux will act as a samba server? Should i select "everything" when i load redhat again or should i just continue what i have now? When i ran testparm it tells me Server_Role:StandAlone. I appreciate the help. gerald __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail AddressGuard http://antispam.yahoo.com/whatsnewfree
Gerald, If you have smb.conf then you almost certainly have Samba installed. To make sure, check your RPM database to make sure the packages are installed. At the command line: rpm -qa | grep samba If you want to turn it off or on: service smb stop service smb start service smb restart This starts or stops the service, and only the superuser (root) can do this. Also, you can configure Samba to be on automatically every time you boot like this: chkconfig smb --list chkconfig smb on chkconfig is a good way to configure which services are running on your system in various run levels. Text mode is run level 3, graphical is run level 5. This is also a good command to help you turn off things you don't need, though it does not stop services, but rather sets whether or not services run. A lot of this is Linux general information, not Samba-specific. Hope this helps ... -Ed Gerald wrote:> Hi to you all, > > I'm setting up a network to where I have Linux and W2k > Active Directory.I have Redhat 8.0 and i want it to > see and access file between the two OS'S.
