Hello,
We use a Ricoh Aficio 3035 copier which has multiple functions- one of
them is to scan to a folder via SMB/FTP/NFS. We've chosen to scan
documents into PDF documents via SMB to user's shared folders on a
Windows NT server for several years with no issues. About a year ago the
user's folders location was changed to one on Windows 2003 Server also
with no problems. Last week I attempted to change the location of the
folders to a Samba server and ran into problems. Working through this
problem, I eventually discovered that while I could see all Windows and
Samba servers from the copier, I could not browse into any of our Samba
servers' shares. I can see shares under all Windows servers but not on
any of the Samba servers. Now, all of our Windows and Mac clients can
browse through all shared on both Windows and Samba servers on the
network just fine.
When using the SMB method, the copier uses a workgroup name of the old
NT domain name and also the username and password of an administrator.
The network is currently in mixed mode. Haven't upgraded to pure AD mode
just yet. All of the Samba servers are using the AD realm method and
appear to serve successfully.
Is it the copier misconfigured or are the Samba servers misconfigured?
Our smb.conf for all of the servers are generally like this:

The scanned documents go to the "shared" share. I use the "<nt
domain
name>-admin" username to authenticate the transfer of the scanned
documents from the copier into the "shared" share. When switching from
the Windows server to the Samba server, I get an error message on the
copier as follows:
"Authentication with the destination has failed. Check settings."
I tried the "public = yes" statement and specified the "guest
account <nt domain name>-admin" in conjunction with "public =
yes" but no dice.
This share should be available to anyone. I tried the "valid users = <nt
domain name>-admin" statement to no effect.
What am I doing wrong? Or is it the Ricoh copier?
