I'm having problems accessing Samba shares from my XP Pro machine. Samba 2.2.7 is installed on two Redhat 8.0 machines and configured using SWAT. I have user level security and encrypted passwords setup. I have a printer shared on both servers as well as home directories and one restricted access share. My printers are setup for guest access so all machines will always be able to print.

Hello, I have 2.2.6.p2 installed as a PDC and there are around ten PCs(Win2k sp2 and 3) in this domain. Everything works fine and recently I tried to add two extra PCs in this domain, but Win2k PC generates an error message saying "The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "hm": No mapping between account names and security IDs was done". As usual

what is the 'passwd chat' line for Samba 2.2.3a-12.3 on Debian Woody that enables password synchronisation with Windows 2000 clients in a domain? I currently have this in smb.conf but it doesn't work: unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n I get the Windows message

Dear Listmembers, apparently my attachement was not distributed via the list, therefore I add it once again to this email; plain text following my question. Many thanks for any suggestion in advance: I am using a SPARC ULTRA 60 / running SuSE sparc linux 7.3 as server for our M$-Network. I recently installed samba-2.2.8a from SuSE (compiled src-rpm), since then I am facing problems when attaching

Hi, I upgraded samba to samba-3.0.23-1.fc4 and now I get authentication errors trying to connect to any shares explicitly defined in smb.conf. Iam using PAM for authentication. /etc/samba/smb.conf: [global] encrypt passwords = no debug level = 10 workgroup = MYGROUP server string = Samba Server security = user hosts allow = 129.180. load printers = yes cups options = raw log

Hello, all.. I'm running into some weird password problems with Samba 2.0.5a. Here's what I'm *trying* to do. I have several Linux & Sun boxes that I'd like to share their resources with various DOS/Win9x PCs. I don't want to have to maintain password files on each of the these. Currently, the Unix passwords are shared via NIS, with a SunOS box as the master. What I

I know it is a moderated list - just do not know how to get to the moderator. Was just reinstalling suse 9.1 on top of an existing 9.1 (with samba) (it solved another issue with the monitor but created a samba problem) applied all patches reinstallation remembered all settings correctly, even the smb.conf file, but smbd does not start anymore. , I get a

Hi ... I am desperate now to solve this problem ... this is my absolute last resort attempt! I have read of the problem on a number of posts/newsgroups/webpages - but there a very little solutions - or causes - none of the solutions have worked for me! Basically my samba is happily running and I can connect to it fine from 9x clients and from 2k client as a workgroup. However..... If I try to

Hello, Well.... I need help to do smthing with Samba 2.0.3-19990228 Let me explain... Ive two servers : one NT and one Linux...

Hi All, since an upgrade from 3.0.24 to 3.0.25 on 2 separate sun solaris (v3.8,v3.9) boxes I have experienced an inability to authenticate. $ smbclient -L //serverbox -U username Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE My global config is as follows: workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = SERVERBOX Samba Server security = SERVER obey pam

Samba 2.2.3a on OS-X 10.2.6 Trying to get a standalone server up and running with user level security. All the users have valid accounts and passwords, but we've enabled password sync and password chat and chat debug for the accounts as we don't do authentication against the active directory. unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat debug = yes passwd chat

I'm trying to get win9x clients to connect to a Samba 2.0.4b server on FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE. Some of these machines have Windows logins different from the Unix user on the server, and the smb.conf manpage suggests that the "share%username" hack should be used in this case. This seems to work fine on my old 1.9.18p8 server, but not on any of the newer ones. With debug level 5 I see

Item Subject: cc:Mail Text Hi Mike, I got almost the same problem as you when I was using 2.04b on HP-UX 10.20 machine. I can not map to \\servername\sharename to my hpux machine from Win95 successfully when the sharename is different from the client login name. But it's successful on my WinNT. I can not resolve this problem but have a

Hi I have Win2k servers connecting to the samba server by mapping a windows user to unix user. We never had any problems with thsi connectivity but for past 2 weeks we have an erratic problem which causes the windows account to lock thus making samba unfunctional. When I get the windows account unlocked then samba starts functioning properly again. I do not have a scenario to reproduce the

Running a Windows 2000 domain; recently we've made some security changes to deny anonymous users from being able to get at our user list. It would appear that one of my Domain Controllers hadn't been rebooted after that security change, and now that it has been rebooted, I can't mount smb shares off of one of our if the security setting is in place. On a Windows 2000 Domain

Hi all. I'm having a strange intermittent problem with Samba 2.2.8a losing connectivity with our PDC and BDC. We are currently having a problem with our PDC restarting due to a bug check about 2-3 times a month. When this happens and the PDC is restarted or anytime it is restarted, we are not able to map shares on any of our 5 servers using samba 2.2.8a - the fix is to kill smbd and nmbd

Hi, I try to install my linux as PDC. I followed the samba project documentation and some other doc. My samba is 3.0.0 alpha2.4 My smb.conf is with the user securrity, domain logons etc... Just like it should be I added the computername with the "$" sign Added the computername in smbpasswd but when i try to connect with my win2000 workstation i get "unknown user name or bad

Hi, I'm having a problem with the smbd process losing its connection to the password server. Smbd can successfully authenticate a user upon initial connection. Then after some time (within a matter of 10-20 minutes) if the user tries to use the mapped drive, he sometimes gets prompted with an authentication dialog box. Nothing that is typed into this box will be accepted, and the user

Hi all, We are having some problems getting a solaris 9(sparc) file server running samba 2.2.2 to authenticate aginst a windows NT 4 PDC. Let me say first that this was all working at one time, then we had some data corrumption on our NFS mounted /usr/local, and had to restore from tape. Due to some issues with solaris ufsdump and ufsrestore, stuff was not quite put back properly. We do

I've gotten passed the problem I had with joining the domain. However, I am still having problems with the authentication of domain user accounts against the samba server. wbinfo -u shows my users from the domain correctly. wbinfo -g does the same for my domain groups. getent passwd shows the domain users as expected. wbinfo -t shows a good trust. wbinfo -a allows me to authenticate any
