[Samba] XP Pro client cannot access stand-alone linux samba server
Hi, I am trying to set up my internet connection sharing linux box as a stand-alone samba server. When i try to access the server from a Windows XP Pro client using \\192.168.0.1 i get a dialog box asking for a username and password. I duly enter this and the dialog box immediately re-appears without connecting me to the share. There exists both a samba and linux account with the same password which is also the same as the XP Pro logon. The XP Pro box is not set up to logon to a domain, both of the boxes are on the same workgroup. I can get samba to work using share-level security but only for a guest account. Would appreciate any suggestions *smb.conf* [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = SAMBA server string = Samba server in user level security = users encrypt passwords = yes [Logs] path= /var/log valid user = ian

Okay - I've tried adding machine account as suggested but still no joy - same symptoms as before. Also tried changing security to 'share' - this time I can see the share in windows explorer but it asks for a password under the username of 'Guest' (greyed out) when i try to access it - no passwords work (including null). */etc/passwd* *<snip>* SHUTTLE$:x:10000:100:Machine Account:/dev/null:/bin/false *smb.conf* [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = SAMBA server string = Samba server in user level security = user encrypt passwords = yes [Logs] path= /var/log valid user = ian Jason Balicki wrote:>Make sure the XP box has a machine account on the samba server. > >do this by adding a user (however you do it on your host OS) of machine$ >(make sure the dollar sign is there) > >then you can add this account to samba by doing: > >smbpasswd -a -m machine > >(note the _lack_ of a dollar sign. you know this, but replace "machine" >with the actual name of the machine.) > >HTH, > >--J(K) > > > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: >>samba-bounces+kodak=frontierhomemortgage.com@lists.samba.org >>[mailto:samba-bounces+kodak=frontierhomemortgage.com@lists.samb >>a.org] On Behalf Of Ian Colley >>Sent: Friday, January 02, 2004 12:50 PM >>To: samba@lists.samba.org >>Subject: [Samba] XP Pro client cannot access stand-alone linux >>samba server >> >> >>Hi, I am trying to set up my internet connection sharing linux >>box as a >>stand-alone samba server.

Thanks for your reply I tried both of these to no avail - nothing is recorded in the logs either.

Hi - You're right in saying that i'm not joined to a domain - nor do I wish to be - I just want to be able to see the share (using user level access). I have just turned of requiresignorseal and it has not made any difference.

[Samba] XP Pro client cannot access stand-alone linux samba server
Hello again Your comment about the smbpasswd file got me thinking so I deleted the user 'ian' and re-created him using 'smbpasswd -x ian' and 'smbpasswd -a ian <password>' and next time i tried to view the share it worked a treat - didn't even prompt for a password - just used the default windows one. I had originally created the user 'ian' using a samba-webmin module before moving over to cmd-line tools and neglected to delete and re-create the user. I can only assume that I had set some option wrong when using webmin hence your observation of the unusual character. Many thanks for your help - I certainly couldn't have got round this problem without it. Ian P.S. I deciced to reset requiresignorseal to '1' and reboot - I was still able to successfully access the share.
