Hello,
I'm running Debian (kernel 2.4.16) now for some time, but I don't manage
to configure samba (2.2.3a) like it should (I guess). I'll try to
explain as good as possible what my problems are...
I want to get on a Windows NT intranetserver, to access some data but
especially for the printers on the network. I have put in /etc/hosts the
following line:
# 157.193.64.19 lmeserv.rug.ac.be labmetserver
This works, since i can ping to 'labmetserver'.
Next, I'd like to connect to the server, so I do:
# mount -t smbfs //labmetserver/ /mnt/labmet/ -o
username=kurts/LMEDOM%xxxxxxxxxxxx
(xxxxxxxxx to replace by password) and next message appaers:
# mount: only root can do that
I don't understand this, since I can mount other filesystems (floppy,
cdrom, zip, etc), so I actually can mount, but anyway, I go on:
# su root
# passwd:
# mount -t smbfs //labmetserver/ /mnt/labmet/ -o
username=kurts/LMEDOM%xxxxxxxxxxxx
# 1214: session request to LABMETSERVER failed (Called name not present)
# 1214: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an
invalid share name)
# SMB connection failed
So apparently, I cannot connect to the server. But now, I can try
something else:
# mount -t smbfs //labmetserver/information /mnt/labmet/information -o
username=kurts/LMEDOM%xxxxxxxxxxxx
and this seems to work to some extend: the filesystem is mounted (so I
can read the 'information' directory of the server), but I receive a
message again (same as the first one above):
# 1222: session request to LABMETSERVER failed (Called name not present)
At this point, I'm already 'satisfied' that I can read the data, but I'm
not able to find the printer yet since I cannot mount the complete
filesystem properly (that's at least what I think...) I guess, I have to
be able to mount the server (smb) filesystem, before I try to print!?
Anyway, I already tried some things with smbpasswd but I can't remember
exactly what I did. Anyway, here's some more information for you :-):
as 'kurt', I run:
# smbpasswd -U kurts
(since kurts is my login name of the server)
# Old SMB password:
# New SMB password:
# Retype new SMB password:
# machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password: error was : RAP86: the
specified password is invalid.
# Failed to change password for kurts
Finally, my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup=LMEDOM
ecrypt password=True
security = domain
password server = *
I would like to be able to mount the filesystems when I'm not logged in
as root (fakeroot doesn't help...), but I really would like to be able
to mount the server filesystem (with printers etc). This is probably the
last 'necessary' thing that has to be solved to go completely for Linux.
I really would appreciate any help,
tnx,
Kurt.
