samba - Jul 2009 - Mount errors,....try try again

Warning
this will be a lengthy post. I?ve been beating my head on my desk for days now.

I
have a Samba PDC in an NT4 domain. I have several domain member servers and a
non domain member server.

Versions really don?t matter but for the sake of argument the
systems that are ?working? are all CENTOS 4.7 systems using 3.0.28 Samba.

My procedure is this: I mount a Domain member share on the
non domain member server in order to back it up. It works flawlessly.

 

The problem : I?ve got a new system I want to
upgrade using CentOS 5.3 I had been using 3.0.33 but
have since upgraded it to 3.3.6.  



I use the exact same mount command (server name/ share name are
different) with the same username and password and it fails.  

 

I can access the new system with my windows clients as any
number of users and read/write and connect to the share. 

 

I?ve copied every config file in
use from a working system to this non working system. I had to add a line to
the smb.conf.

 

I am not running winbind on any of
my domain members, I can getent passwd
on the new system and see all of the domain users.  

 

I am getting a bad password error on this new system,I?ve added a new user to
the ldap database,confirmed
full access. I still get an error.  I?ve tried changing user and password
on the mount command to no avail.

 

Here is the error on the Domain Member 3.3.6 (CentOS5.3):

Work around maybe.
I created a samba user administrator on the system I wanted to access with a
mount command.
Which as it turns out is a little different ,you use a cifs mount in the fstab
with an auth.smb file to specify
username and password.
It seems as thought smbfs is no longer supported and you have to use cifs. 


The end result is not ideal BUT the benefit was I found a reliable way to get a
current version of
Samba on my CentOS server. Thanks for that guys!!
