Very Computer

Hi,

I've setup samba to the best of my knowledge.
I can see the machine from a NT machine but cannot access it.
Does not accept password.
I'm using the same username and password on the linux machine and the NT
domain. I know I must be missing something somewhere.
and I'm losing my hair at a rapid rate.

Can somebody help me please, I'm getting desperate.

I'm also getting an error when i try to mount to a machine on the NTdomain.
"cannot resolve mount.....  /share", this is more than likely the cause to
all my problems.

Hi,
I just got the information (?), that the problem appeared with NT Service
Pack 3. There was something changed in encryption of network password for
authentication. There is a unsharp information, that there is a registry
setting on NT side or otherwise some configuration effort for samba to solve
the problem.
Sorry for being not more exact, only touched the problem on the surface.

Regards
Martin Schl?ter

Have you tried swat?  It is very nice for configuring samba, and there is help
text for every option.  Make sure it is installed, then turn it on in your
inetd.conf, and voila!  Connect to port 901 on your server (use a browser) and
configure away...

My guess is you have a password encryption problem.  Perhaps you should try
enabling encrypted passwords, running smbpasswd as root on each of the users
trying to access the samba share and typing in their passwords as the NT domain
expects them.  Then restart samba.

Hope it helps.

In order to access Samba shared from NT SP3 and higher, you must enable
encrypted passwords in Samba. See the ENCRYPTION.txt file in the Samba
documentation directory.

Sorry -- can't help you with that one.
