When I try to map a Linux file system to a windows 2000 machine, I get the following error message with one user ONLY. The account is for a printer which does scanning. Samba server is Suse Linux Pro 9.0 Samba version 3.0 Smb.conf file # smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented # version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the # samba-doc package is installed. # Date: 2005-05-23 [global] workgroup = wrkgrp password server = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx hosts allow = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx printing = cups printcap name = cups log file = /var/log/samba.log.%m username map = /etc/samba/usermap.txt printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw printer admin = @ntadmin, root, administrator map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: security = server #security = domain encrypt passwords = yes ldap suffix = dc=example,dc=com domain logons = no ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers local master = no #local master = yes Chnaged 9/22/05 in AM #passdb backend = smbpasswd:/etc/passwd wins server = xxx.xxx.xxx.xx wins support = no add machine script = preferred master = auto [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S browseable = no read only = No inherit acls = Yes guest ok = no printable = no ;; [groups] ;; comment = All groups ;; path = /home/groups ;; read only = No ;; inherit acls = Yes ;; browseable = yes ;; guest ok = no ;; printable = no [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 browseable = yes guest ok = no printable = no [business] comment = Data Storage location path = /storage/Georgia writeable = yes browseable = yes guest ok = no printable = no directory mask = 777 valid users = users [scans] comment = scans path = /storage/scans/ writeable = yes browseable = yes guest ok = no printable = no valid users = users [mailbox] comment = Company Mail path = /storage/Mailbox/ writeable = yes browseable = yes guest ok = no printable = no [profiles] comment = profiles path = /var/tmp printable = yes browseable = yes guest ok = no All OTHER users can map this file system and other file systems as well, without a problem. Any help appreciated. More info suppled upon request. Thanks John J. Maher Systems Administrator Anabase International Corp. 154 Lambertville / HQ Rd.
