samba - Jan 2004 - Denied access in XP, OS X works.

Hello again everyone,

I recently setup a username/password protected share on our Samba 3.0 
server and am having trouble accessing it with Windows clients.  When I 
try this, I get the typical Windows error, "This share is not 
accessible, etc etc."
I was able to gain access with OS X though.  I can see that in the logs 
as well.  However, the denial is not in the logs.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Jared

Hmmm, do you have the encrypted/plain text password correct?

Does the share have the same user/password as your Windows login?
Windows seems to not allow to change it after login.
I only know about W95/98

Hello,

I'm having a strange problem with Samba and accessing large files on a Linux
host from another Linux host. My home network consists of two Linux hosts
and one W2K workstation. Call the hosts L-A, L-B and W2K. L-A and L-B both
run the Linux 2.4.23 kernels with SMB support, both are running Samba 3.0.1.
On L-A I have a large file, 4.2 GB. From L-B I use smbmount to mount the /
directory on L-A to the /L-A local share. From L-B, the 4.2 GB file shows up
as 638 MB using ls -l, which is clearly wrong. From the W2K host, I map the
same share on L-A as drive Z:. The file size is displayed as 4.2 GB, the
correct size. If I attempt to copy the file from L-A to L-B, only 638 MB is
copied, clearly wrong. Using FTP from L-B to access L-A, the file size is
correct at 4.2 GB. Prior to installing 3.0.1 on L-A, I was using Samba
2.2.8a, and the file size displayed as a HUGE 22 digit number, also wrong.

Does anyone know why the file size is being displayed incorrectly, and more
importantly, what do I need to do to correct the problem? Reading and
writing large files to both the Linux hosts works fine with W2K, the problem
is that Linux can't access large files using Samba.

TIA,

Bobby
