Hi I just built samba 3.0.11 RPM's from the SRPM provided on samba.org. I'm using Fedora 1, 2.4 kernel. smbclient is causing me an unusual problem. When I start smbd and nmbd and issue: smbclient -d3 -L localhost, I see the following: smbclient -d3 -L localhost lp_load: refreshing parameters Initialising global parameters params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf" Processing section "[global]" added interface ip=10.0.3.1 bcast=10.0.3.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 Client started (version 3.0.11). resolve_hosts: Attempting host lookup for name localhost<0x20> Connecting to 127.0.0.1 at port 445 Password: Doing spnego session setup (blob length=58) got OID=1 3 6 1 4 1 311 2 2 10 got principal=NONE Got challenge flags: Got NTLMSSP neg_flags=0x60890215 NTLMSSP: Set final flags: Got NTLMSSP neg_flags=0x60080215 NTLMSSP Sign/Seal - Initialising with flags: Got NTLMSSP neg_flags=0x60080215 SPNEGO login failed: Logon failure Anonymous login successful Domain=[INGHAMS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.11] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- netlogon Disk Network Logon Service print$ Disk Printer Drivers Share pub Disk IPC$ IPC IPC Service (My PDC (Samba 3.0.11)) ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (My PDC (Samba 3.0.11)) Connecting to 127.0.0.1 at port 139 session request to LOCALHOST failed (Call returned zero bytes (EOF)) Connecting to 127.0.0.1 at port 139 session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Call returned zero bytes (EOF)) NetBIOS over TCP disabled -- no workgroup available Then if I try it again I see this: smbclient -d3 -L localhost lp_load: refreshing parameters Initialising global parameters params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf" Processing section "[global]" added interface ip=10.0.3.1 bcast=10.0.3.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 Client started (version 3.0.11). Connecting to 127.0.0.1 at port 445 protocol negotiation failed If I name the samba server I see exactly the same. Any clues to this? It happens every time. If required I'll gladly post any config stuff needed to resolve this. Thanks for any hints, Phil
