I've been having an issue that's been discussed at some length here on the list, but I haven't found a definitive solution to it. The problem is the Win2k connection failing when attempting to connect to Samba 3.0.1 shares in a Win2k3 Active Directory domain. I've installed MIT-Kerberos 1.3.1 and done all the configuration. I'm running winbindd. The following commands work fine from the Samba server: wbinfo -u wbinfo -g getent -u getent -g smbclient -L winserver -k smbclient //winserver/share -k However, Win2k clients prompt for password when attempting to connect to the share with netbios name. Using the IP address of the Samba server allows viewing of the shares, but I get the following in log.smb when I attempt to access the shares: [2003/12/17 16:34:59, 3] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(543) Connect path is '/home/bspiegel/samba_setup/' for service [Samba] [2003/12/17 16:34:59, 3] lib/util_seaccess.c:se_access_check(251) [2003/12/17 16:34:59, 3] lib/util_seaccess.c:se_access_check(252) se_access_check: user sid is S-1-5-21-1699881384-1462387219-1540833222-7294 ... se_access_check: also S-1-5-21-1699881384-1462387219-1540833222-2102 [2003/12/17 16:34:59, 3] smbd/vfs.c:vfs_init_default(201) Initialising default vfs hooks [2003/12/17 16:34:59, 3] lib/util_seaccess.c:se_access_check(251) [2003/12/17 16:34:59, 3] lib/util_seaccess.c:se_access_check(252) se_access_check: user sid is S-1-5-21-1699881384-1462387219-1540833222-7294 ... se_access_check: also S-1-5-21-1699881384-1462387219-1540833222-2102 [2003/12/17 16:34:59, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:set_sec_ctx(288) setting sec ctx (10000, 10000) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0 [2003/12/17 16:34:59, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(677) '/home/bspiegel/samba_setup/' does not exist or is not a directory, when connecting to [Samba] See below for how I've got my shares setup in smb.conf (you can find full versions of my configs at the bottom of this email): A pop-up window indicates the following error: \\<ipaddr>\Samba is not accessible. The network name cannot be found. The path has full permissions (chmod 0777) in the filesystem and still no dice. I know some of you have been able to view and access shares through the IP address even though you cannot through the netbios name. Do any of you have any idea why my shares are inaccessible even though I've enabled every access option I can think of?
