Hi everybody, excuse me when I ask something maybe 100 times discussed in this newsgroup, I try to mount a share on a W2k server box with samba (from a Fedora 2.6.5 machine) without success. Doing the same with a NT Server machine in the same LAN works perfectly. It seems that it's a problem of the password (encryption ?? digitally sign communications are disabled !!). [root@hase root]# mount -t smb -o username=myname //w2kserver/bck Password: 32546: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed [root@hase root]# But anonymous login works: [root@hase root]# smbclient -L //10.1.1.123 -N Anonymous login successful Domain=[IST] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED session request to 10.1.1.123 failed (Called name not present) session request to 10 failed (Called name not present) Anonymous login successful Domain=[IST] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Server Comment --------- ------- BELL IG DB1 Any ideas ??????? -- ___________________________________ Dr. Marcus Hoffmann System Engineer / Software Developer Institute of Earth Sciences - SUPSI Via Trevano C.P. 72 CH-6952 Canobbio-Lugano Ticino-SWITZERLAND Direct: Tel +41 (0)58 / 666 62 13 Secretary: Tel +41 (0)58 / 666 62 00 Fax: +41 (0)58 / 666 62 09 eMail: marcus.hoffmann@supsi.ch Internet: http://www.ist.supsi.ch
