Good Morning, I understand you provide support for the Samba project. I am searching for some FREE help solving what I think is a very simple problem for an experience Samba professional. I am running Samba 2.2.12 on an old SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 box. I cannot update to a more recent version of Samba as this is the last version that will run on SCO OpenServer 5.0.6. I have some programs which call SMBCLIENT to 'put' files onto a Windows share. The Windows Server is running 2008 R2. The problem I have is that I need to disable the 'guest' account on the Windows box and when I do disable it, the SMBCLIENT command fails. How can I get SMBCLIENT to use another account and what properties does it need to have? Your help would be gratefully received. Kind Regards Dave Nolan Anchor Technology 01254-672638 07764-193152
I can tell you to update your sco to 5.0.7 and install at least samba 3.0.20 from sco. ( i have sco 5.0.7 with samba 3 running.. ) and alternative to overcome your problem is to setup nfs on the sco server.

If it's as simple as ssh-ing into the sco box with the command it shoud be easy. But we're guessing unless you can tell us or give us examples of how you reach the domain.
You may want to explore enabling NTLM on the 2008 R2 box. IIRC Samba 2 didn't support NTLMv2 and 2008R2 has it disabled by default. If you choose this route, be aware that there's a good reason NTLM was replaced!
