Hello, Can you say me which is the key to add in the registry for Windows XP to Enable Plain Text Password? Best Regards

Dear Michael, I just have the same problem you have with samba 2.2.3a on a Suse 8.0 machine and win xp pro. Besides I performed all the steps below. >From my postings I learned that the prob might have something to do with a wrong mapping in smbusers file. It seems to me that the workstation account is mapped to user nobody. Up to now I was not able to solve the prob. Do you have any ideas

Hi Everyone there! We have a very annoying problem since several months when browsing the local network (workgroup) from win xp clients (from win98 clients it's almost OK). The machines in the workgroup appearing very slooow (about 15-20 sec), and this value doesn't change even in the 2nd or 3rd browse. We have 1 linux (debian 2.4.21 pre 3) pc, running the samba (2.2312) server, about 15

This is probably an easy one. I have just setup Samba on my Debian 2.0 system with kernel 2.0.34. It was extremely easy set up, great job Samba and Debian people. My problem is that I can see both of my Debian computers in Network Neighborhood but can not log in to both of them. The one I can log in to is Debian 1.3 with 2.0.33 on it. When I double-click on the Debian 2.0 machine it prompts me for

Hello. New to SAMBA.(2.2.8 on RH9) Mixed environment of 98 & (trying) XP. My "net use s: /home" command works wonderfully for XP and 98. But XP throws in an "extra" "more home-than-home" directory - namely \username\.win_profile on the Z drive. I've tried disconnecting it with: net use Z: /delete, but XP claims to have a process running on it (even after 10

mksmbpasswd.sh does not create accounts with the X flag in the password flags field. Does this X matter, and if so, what does it mean? It's not in the man page. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical

Hi- Whenever I try to join my domain I get an error message saying "unknown user name or bad password" even when I'm typing in the correct password. Does anyone know what this can be?

Hi, I'd like to hear off-list from anyone who is currently successfully using folder redirection with an NT4 domain controller. If you are doing this, please would help me to understand your secret. There are two ways I know of that should work, however I have received feedback from separate sources that claim problems with both of these methods. I would like to include in the new book

This is a slight rework of my last question but should be clearer. My samba installation appears to be trying to use /root/tmp as its temp directory. This is useless as when logged in as a user the system has no access to the temp directory and so nothing works. How do I pursaude Samba to use /tmp as the temp dir. I am running Samba 3 on a Mandrake system. Thanks

Bare with me please :-) I know this question has probably been asked before but a quick overview of the archives didn't help me out. Couple of parts 1. Can a samba domain be established that doesn't require registry hacks on an XP machine to add the XP machine? 2. What would a VERY basic smb.conf file look like that creates a samba domain for W2K and XP machines? 3. Does anyone

This could be quite simple but I don't know how to do it. Does anyone know how I can automatically mount a users home drive (which is located on a windows server) when they log in? Is there a pam module for that? Thanks very much, Sapan

Hi. I run SuSE 8.1 and samba here. On the linux machine I have a HP1100A on the parallel port, and a HP-DJ895Cxi on a USB port. I can print ok from this linux machine to both printers. From my laptop, that runs WIN98, I can print to the HP1100A printer. I cannot print to the DJ895Cxi, even if its set up as a network printer. I could do this with SuSE dists up to 8.0. From 8.1 printers are

Hi, I've been trying to get SSH tunnelling working with Samba. I'm using a Windows XP and a RedHat 8.0 box. I've closely followed the instructions from the HOWTO manual in order to set this up to no avail. I think the problem comes from the fact that my lmhosts file has no effect on the NetBIOS name cache when I preload it with the command 'nbtstat -R'. I checked the

I have a very simple setup on a Solaris 8 server, running Samba 3.0.1 (see smb.conf below). A desktop PC running Windows 98 (SE?) happily connects to and prints to my one shared printer, but an XP Pro laptop takes a loooong time to install the local driver and then just says "Access denied, unable to connect". I already told it to use a client driver and disabled spoolss. Here's

All, I currently have a problem where the default user profile is not being picked up - Windows simply ingores it and creates one based on local settings. I understand samba supports default user profiles, and one can be put into the profiles share like this: /export/profiles/Default User/ This directory contains a copy of a working profile from a proper user. The relevant smb.conf sections

After upgrading rc2 -> rc4 (suse binary packages) line 'valid users = %S' in [homes] section prevents user getting to his homedirectory in logfile smbd says: [2003/09/25 15:07:59, 2] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(384) user 'xxxx' (from session setup) not permitted to access this share (xxxx) Hannu

I have posted this question twice without any response. We are running samba on an OpenUnix 8 machine, then we are mapping the samba share on a Windows 2000 machine. If we run our process from the Windows command line..(copying files to the share) everything runs great. The problem is if someone telnets to the Windows 2000 machine and runs the same process they get "The specific network

Hi folks, is anybody using those two products together and can give me any advice on how to do this? My specific issue has been addressed in other posts before, but as nobody responded, it would just now be interesting if anybody at least uses those applications together successfully? greets Malte

I am wondering if anyone has ever answered the question of group policy operability under Windows 9x. That is, I am _not_ looking for a work-around but the real thing--one config.pol file to service several groups. I have done my homework, hopefully well, but found nothing. To prove this, I will quickly summarize my findings below. Either I have found: 1. a list of unresolved (mostly

I have been searching for info on this and haven't found an authoritative answer. From what I have read, oplocks are good because they increase connection speeds, but they are bad because they don't really work, but they actually do work, but they only work in some cases, etc etc. so, here's my problem and my question together: I get tons of these messages every day (over a thousand a
