As Gaiseric requested, here is the testparm -v diff of a working and nonworking member server in the NT4 domain. I've tried to align the columns, but it's possible your mail client may mangle them. The only parameter change I have tried is changing 'ntlm auth' to Yes on the the nonworking system. It did not fix anything. Thanks for looking. Dale *# Samba 4.2.14 (working)*

I get alternating messages of: --------------------------- \\hostname is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contanct the

hi, i've been trying for like two weeks to figure out why samba doesn't run properly. from the logs it looks like smbd will start followed by nmbd. then nmbd will exit for no apparent reason. i'm able to start samba manually with the command '/etc/init.d/samba start'. right now i'm assuming nmbd is the reason why samba doesn't load. i'm running samba version

I'm trying to setup a share on my samba server that will allow me to write to the disk on my windows 98 box. It seems quite simple but I get the access denied error messages whenever I try to create or write to the file. I created the disk on my samba server as a DOS 16 bit file system. Here is my smb.conf file: [global] # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup =

I have added a HYDRA$ machine account to LION per the usual directions. I then follow the simple directions

I have been mounting a Windows machine with no problems whatsoever for the year. Suddenly this afternoon it won't mount any more. No recent changes have been made on the machine.

Hello! I work at a school in Norway, and am experimenting with a Linux box as a server for our Win95 network.
