Hi Tim and lewiz~ Thanks for these ideas. They definitely helped, and have alleviated some of the problem. I can now do 'smbpasswd' without an error. But I'm still getting a non-LDAP auth. error; see below: ===== [gandalf] ~# smbpasswd -a linuxbox New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Password changed for user linuxbox. [gandalf] ~# smbclient -L gandalf -U linuxbox added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 can't determine netmask for 192.168.1.1 Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE ===== As you can see, something is wacky with the IP interface. 192.168.1.1 is the IP of my router/gateway (Linksys router) The FBSD box (gandalf) is 192.168.1.102. When I try to connect to the IP itself instead of the hostname, it times out: ===== [gandalf] ~# smbclient -L 192.18.1.102 -U linuxbox added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 can't determine netmask for 192.168.1.1 <... delay ...> timeout connecting to 192.18.1.102:139 Error connecting to 192.18.1.102 (Operation already in progress) Connection to 192.18.1.102 failed ===== Yet the box is (I think) properly connected to the Internet; in fact, I'm performing these commands from work via ssh. Here's what ifconfig says: ===== [gandalf] ~# ifconfig -a dc0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::800:aff:fe00:a00%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.1.102 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 0a:00:0a:00:0a:00 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ===== Any ideas??? Thanks very much, ~John
