[Samba] Cannot connect from Windows 2000 to Samba 3.4.0 on Li nux ....
Some default setting have changed. Use: testparm -v from your various versions of samba to detect which parameters may be causing you issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tony Hoover, Network Administrator KSU - Salina, College of Technology and Aviation (785) 826-2660 "Don't Blend in..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces at lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces at lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Jochen Roderburg Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 6:47 AM To: samba at lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Cannot connect from Windows 2000 to Samba 3.4.0 on Linux .... Second try via gmane, because direct mail to the mailing list was rejected :-( ... when using not-encrypted passwords. Yes, I know, that is not the recommended secure way, but I want also AFS authentication via samba and that does not work with encrypted windows passwords. I have been doing this successfully for numerous years with all samba generations from 1.x up to 3.3.x. I do not see any changes in the 3.4 ChangeLog that could be related to this. On the samba side there are no error messages in the log files (with standard log levels). On the Windows side it either says no permission or repeatedly asks for username/password. Strange thing found during repeated test series with different samba versions: when I start with an older version and get my connections, then kill all samba daemons and start new with 3.4 (with same configuration/data directories) everything suddenly works again. The old connection are still usable and new connections can also be made. Of course this is very confusing and makes it hard to recognize what actually is going on. Update to my first try to report this probl?m: I see that there is now a relatively new bugzilla entry #6666 which looks similar to my case. Could this be the same cause ???

The only documented default changes in 3.4 among the parameters are "passdb backend", which I have set explicitely to "smbpasswd" now and "map untrusted to domain", which is not for a standalone server. For the sake of completeness a diff of the "testparm -v" outputs from samba version 3.3.7 and 3.4.0: 1a2> access based share enum = No30a32> browsable = Yes32a35> cache directory = /var/log/samba3/locks47,48d49 < config backend = file < config file = 62a64> dedicated keytab file =132d133 < include = 141a143> kerberos method = default194a197> map untrusted to domain = No199c202 < max open files = 10000 ---> max open files = 1024244a248> perfcount module =262c266 < private dir = /usr/local/samba3/private ---> private dir = /usr/local/private283c287 < server string = Samba 3.3.7 ---> server string = Samba 3.4.0292c296 < smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba3/private/smbpasswd ---> smb passwd file = /usr/local/private/smbpasswd296a301> state directory = /var/log/samba3/locks314d318 < use kerberos keytab = No Jochen Roderburg RRZK University of Cologne Robert-Koch-Str. 10 Tel.: +49-221/478-7024 D-50931 Koeln E-Mail: Roderburg <at> Uni-Koeln.DE Germany
