Hi, I have just upgraded a server from Samba 2 to Samba 3 and some of the Windows clients are taking a long time to authenticate shares (1 or 2 minutes). Eventually the username/password box appears and then when you enter a correct password, all is fine - it is just the initial authentication. This is a simple UNIX password Samba server (with NIS) and I have set it to not use encrypted

from samba 3.0.9 to 3.0.13 I can not access my shares from a NT4 box as usual before upgrading. I can access samba shares from linux via mount //server/testuser /mnt -o username=testuser,password=testpass as before. Even the newest version (3.0.14a) from samba.org doesnt't help. What has happened to samba ??? Any hints ?? Thanks for your thoughts, G?tz.

Hello! I was wondering if it's possible to make Windows NT and Samba 3 work togheter. I found an old question with the same problem I have. Samba 3 is not authenticating WinNT machines. My smb.conf is: [global] workgroup = DESQ-TESTE server string = Teste (Samba %v) interfaces = 143.106.19.25/255.255.255.192, 127. bind interfaces only = Yes encrypt passwords = No password server =

Hi again, as I am finally back working on the problem, I add the smb.conf in the hope somebody can see what I am doing wrong. Samba Version is 3.0.14a from Debian Sarge. Attached is my smb.conf - there may be some unnecessary things in it meanwhile due to too much trying, but anyways. Meanwhile there are some more clients that have problems with password authentication. One thing I noticed is

We are a primarily Linux company with a NIS backend, but we keep a couple "bridge boxes" for Windows users (on a Windows PDC) to connect to their unix accounts and access data. Under Samba 2.2, this was fairly easy with "encrypt passwords = no" turned on. But I can't figure out how to make it work with Samba 3. Does Samba 3 not support a unix passwd backend, or am I

Greetings all, I'm working on attempting to get SAMBA to work with a product line called CryptoCard. I *should* be able to get it to work one of two ways, either through the use of CryptoCard's provided PAM module, or through RADIUS authentication. Currently, I cannot seem to get PAM authentication to work at all. This is what is in the 'samba' file for PAM: auth

Dear Samba gurus, I am setting up file sharing between a new linux box running RedhHat 7.3 and a W98 PC, and almost have things running but have run into a problem that is beyond my ability. I have W98 set up for PlainText password, and have set up Samba to match. Everything seems fine on the linux box. When I enter: smbclient //irisarian/rout -U Gerry%PassWd the connection succeds and

I'm running version 2.0 beta. During the initial installation, I configured Samba to authenticate with an NT server. It worked as expected. Now, I want to reconfigure Samba with security = user. I've set encryption = no (and insured that the NT client is sending plain text passwords), and I've removed the references in the smb.conf file to PASSWORD SERVER =. As I expected, the NT

Hi, I'm using SuSE 8.2 and I got the source for samba 3.0.2a and I tried to install it. ./configure (w/o any arguments) went ok so I type make and it gives me the following errors: Linking bin/smbd auth/pampass.o(.text+0x59): In function `smb_pam_error_handler': : undefined reference to `pam_strerror' auth/pampass.o(.text+0xcb6): In function `smb_pam_end': : undefined reference

Hi, I've setup my Mandrake 10.0 box to use winbind authentication. However, I noticed that root with local files password login fails at first try after reboot. Also there's no way I can authenticate using root when screen is locked. My nsswitch.conf looks like passwd files nis nisplus winbind Won't this first they local files then winbind? Regards, Norman

Hi! I'm looking for a GUI for samba users management. I would try swat but I don't succeed to login the first time (I try admin ldap password and root password). Why? Thanks, Fabio

Dear Samba folks, I have heard and seen nothing about this or matters like it since my posting, so I thought I would repost with some updates. My thinking at the moment is to try to recompile SAMBA (I am using a Fedora core 2 binary distribution) without PAM support, but I hate to do that. Here it is again: I very recently replaced our SGI Challenge S file server, which employed samba 2 to

Hi everybody! I am having an issue regarding my samba/pam configuration. I am trying to sync my unix/samba passwords, but everything i found online doesn't help.

Hello! I tried to get some help from the IRC before, but the problem seems to be too complicated to discuss it there. PLEASE, be so kind and help me solving this problem, I stuck and I must get this working as quick as possible. Here an overview and some details: In one well protected LAN (so I have no need to encrypt passwords at all, which simplifies user management on servers in turn because

Hi, I used to have a set of samba shares working fine on a Centos 4 machine, accessed by XP clients and authenticated against a 2003 SBS server. Then I did a yum upgrade and a week later noticed that the seldom-used SMB shares have stopped working. No other changes to the Centos server, and no domain changes. The XP clients now just keep prompting for authentication. A wireshark trap shows

Hello and Thanks in Advance, I've been at this for three days now and can't think of anything else to try. Been through the docs and #samba on openprojects and even begged for direction in #samba-technical who suggested writing here. On the ancient RedHat 5.2 server (SAMBA 1.9?) both boxes work OK and continue to work OK with both servers now up (new one is from Mandrake 8.2 - SAMBA
