My setup is very simple. I have samba 3.0.10 on Solaris 8.
I have security = server and password server = 209.197.128.34 ( not the real IP
)
When Win2K users map or browse to the shares, they get in fine.
When XP users try to get in, they cannot access the samba shares at all.
All users are on the same domain.
When users are added localhost to smbpasswd, both work fine. Only XP fails with
security = server
Any assistance appreciated greatly.
Here is my smb.conf for ref.
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
"testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.

# All NetBIOS names must be resolved to IP Addresses

means use the unix

# DNS or NIS depending on the settings of /etc/host.config, /etc/nsswitch.conf
# and the /etc/resolv.conf file. "host" therefore is system
configuration
# dependant. This parameter is most often of use to prevent DNS lookups
# in order to resolve NetBIOS names to IP Addresses. Use with care!
# The example below excludes use of name resolution for machines that are NOT
# on the local network segment
# - OR - are not deliberately to be known via lmhosts or via WINS.
