I am a 1st timer with Samba and I have read recommended documentations for
newbies. My problem looks very easy, but I have spent days trying to know
what I am doing wrong. My client is win2000 pro. and my samba server is
version 3.0 running on Redhat linux 9.0.
I can see the Linux box in Network neighbourhood and I can list the test
shares I created but I cannot access them. I have put the samba server in
same workgroup as my win2000 workstation. The hostname of the samber server
is :imsd
The following are the error messages I get when I run the some tests
contained in the samba docmentation.
1) From the Linux machine running the samba
[root@imsd root]# smbclient -L imsd
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[IMSD] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.1]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
abdula Disk test share
homes Disk
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.1)
ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.1)
Server Comment

IMSD Samba 3.0.1
IMSDNET1
Workgroup Master

2) From the Linux machine running the samba.
abdul is created as a user on the linux machine and also with smbpasswd
command. I get the following when I enter the password.
[root@imsd root]# smbclient //imsd/abdul
added interface ip=128.1.100.244 bcast=128.1.100.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
3)From my windows machine, I browse to the samba server, it demands for a
username and password and when I enter it I get the following error message:
incorrect password or unknown username.
A copy of my smb.conf is:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 128.1.100.67 (128.1.100.67)
# Date: 2004/01/12 09:16:33
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = IMSD
[abdula]
comment = test share
path = /home/oji/share
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
[homes]
valid users = %S
read only = No
I will appreciate any help
