Very Computer

Hi,

I have a RH 5.0 with smbd and nmbd running. I've configured my Win98 so that
it can see the RH machine in Network neighbourhood.
My problem is that when I set "security = user" in smb.conf, I can't view
the share without giving a password. If I set "security = share", then I can
go one level down and see the share "homes" and the one as my username "stm"
in my case. I have the account "stm" in RH with password and I also use stm
with no password to logon my Win98 machine. When I click on either homes or
stm share, it ask me for password, but it keep on saying that my password is
invalid. I can browse if "public = yes" is given to a share.

Anyone can help me?

I had some trouble too.
The following configuration finally worked.

  security = user
  encrypt passwords = yes
  smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd

  password level = 30
  username level = 30

The encryption is needed for W98
and the <level>'s may be needed for uppercase/lowercase mixe-up.

After all this, you must add your users to the smbpasswd file.
To do this, run smbpasswd as root, with option -a, and enable those users
(see man smbpasswd)

Hope this helps.

If you're using Win98,
you should have a file in samba docs that's called
"w95_PlainPasswordText.reg",  put that file and
execute it on the Win98 computer and reboot,
that will disable the encryption password between
Samba and Win98.

Cioa,
