I am very new to using SAMBA and with the assistance of a few people on this list I was able to successfully get SAMBA 2.28. setup. I am on VMS 7.3-1 with Multinet ver. 4.4a and very thankful for your assistance.
Since I was able to get SAMBA set up we have upgraded from a WinNT domain to Windows 2003 Active directory. Since this upgrade I can not get authentication to work. I have installed new. I have rejoined the domain. However when I try to join the domain with a user I get the following message. Error connecting to w2k3netsvc1 - NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE Unable to join domain JSCC. When I do not put the "-U" on the command of mc samba_root:[bin]smbpasswd -j dom -r PDC I get the following message 2003/09/05 10:24:18 : change_trust_account_password: Changed password for domain JSCC. Joined domain JSCC. I am using the following smb.conf file which authenicates using a username map file. [global] client code page = 437 workgroup = JSCC netbios name = alpha1 security = domain password server = w2k3netsvc1 guest account = samba__guest map to guest = Bad User username map = /SAMBA_ROOT/LIB/smbusers.dat ; log file = /samba_root/var/log.%m preferred master = no local master = no domain master = no wins server = 172.16.1.12 encrypt passwords = yes browse list = yes hosts allow = 172.30. 172.16. oplocks = no level2 oplocks = no default service = default [frs] comment = FRSfiles path = /jscc$dkd3/frs read only = yes guest ok = yes [hrs] comment = hrsfiles path = /jscc$dkd3/hrs read only = yes valid users = jdoe msmith My smbusers.dat file looks like this... Vms AD jdoe = john.doe msmith = mary.smith bwilliams = becky.williams When I open the files up to the public like in the FRS we can browse and do what every we need to do. When I put a valid users = and try to access I get a logon box. I have tried to use domain username and alpha username and neither will allow me to log in. This is the message in the log.smbd file. domain_client_validate: could not fetch trust account password for domain JSCC [2003/09/05 10:59:22, 0] DISK$SWAP:[JYC.SAMBA.SAMBA-2_2_8-SRC.SOURCE.PASSDB]PDB_ SMBPASSWD.C;4:(1369) Any help or assistance anyone can give as stated before will be and is very much appreciated.
