Hello all,
Thought I'd let you know what I've been trying in addition to the mail
below to get this thing to work. This morning, I installed a second copy of the
samba server, and got it to run simultaneously with the existing one. ss1 serves
DOM1 and ss2 serves DOM2. ss2 has a copy of the smb.conf file for ss1, only with
the workgroup changed to DOM2. Both servers use the same smbpasswd file.
Using the same WIN98SE computer, when logged in on domain DOM1, I can access
ss1, however, when on the same computer logged in on domain DOM2, I still get
invalid password to ss2.
A bit of information I forgot to mention in my mail. The webserver, which for
now has a testpage on it, is accessible on DOM1 through http://ss1/ and it also
works on DOM2 through http://ss2/ so the error is not network related.
Greetings,
Niki Van Strydonck

Subject: [Samba] Using samba on two domains
Hello all,
We've been using samba version 3.0.4 on RH9 with success for quite a while
now for shares on our domain (DOM1). Since this machine will have to be
available in the near future in another domain (DOM2) as a webserver, and
limited fileserver, another network interface has been added for the NIC.
When browsing the shares from a WIN98SE computer in DOM2, we are able to see the
computer, but when wanting to list the shares, we're prompted for a
password. When entering the correct password, we still get "Invalid
password". When doing the same on the same WIN98SE computer in DOM1, it is
successful. The computer has DSClient for windows 98 installed.
The error logs for the connection from DOM2 gives the following:
smbd/service.c: make_connection(706)
make_connection: refusing to connect with no session setup
We've tried the following to remedy the problem, without success:
- in smb.conf, add the parameter interfaces, listing the two valid ip-ranges and
subnetmasks.
- set the windows registry key to send plain text passwords
- set DOM2 as an accepted host
- tried both encrypt password = yes and no
- We even tried mapping bad password to log in as guest account
Alas, none of these seem to work.
Has anyone had issues with this before? I'd appreciate some pointers.
Thanks in advance,
Niki Van Strydonck
