samba - Oct 2004 - Major Samba Battle

I've been here before but I'm still battling with getting Samba to work
right with my XP Pro clients.  In a nutshell, when I try to access a share,
it asks for a username and password.  I enter a username and password and it
simply goes right back to the prompt, asking again.  This is when it's set
up as a domain controller.

 

 

I should note:

I CAN join the domain. 

I DO have my workstations added as machines. 

My [homes] mapping works fine.  

After I log in, I can access my H: drive (homes).

I have added Unix users and passwords to Samba  

I've tried disabling Shorewall

 

But that's about the only thing that works.  Ethereal is showing errors such
as: "NTLMSSP_CHALLENGE, Error: STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED" and
"Tree
Connect AndX Request, Path :\\SERVER\DOWNLOADS" then "Tree Connect
AndX
Response, Error: STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME".

 

Im at my wits end.  I've been fighting with this for 3 weeks and not making
any progress.  PLEASE, give me a push in the right direction.

This is a problem I have had.  Try mapping witn \\ip-addy\share-name.  
If it works, then I think that it's a dns thing, i.e., the W2K machine 
doesnot have the netbios name of the samba machine in DNS.  You might 
also try making nmbd a master browser for netbios, then put

option netbios-name-servers   [samba-ip-addy]

and see if that helps.  I suspect a proper DNS entry on the W2K server 
would solve the problem however.

You may want to start looking at the smbd logs instead of ethereal. If 
the problem isn't obvious from the default log level, try to increase it 
up to 5 and see why Samba doesn't like to give a user access.

If smbd log doesn't say much to you I can try to help looking through it 
- just send it showing events from the moment user answers the first 
login prompt till it get another one.
