Hi, I've been using samba for a while now with relatively simple configurations. I do however have a few questions:
* When using encrypted passwords with samba, is it possible to authenticate users using the Unix user password(/etc/passwd)? * When using smbclient I get the error NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE: added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE david@Wintermute:~$ smbclient -L wintermute -U david added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE david@Wintermute:~$ smbclient -L wintermute -U root added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE When nothing is entered in the password prompt: david@Wintermute:~$ smbclient -L wintermute added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: Anonymous login successful Domain=[UTOPIA] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.3a] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- public Disk Public Stuff IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server) ADMIN$ Disk IPC Service (Samba Server) lp Printer Server Comment --------- ------- ALPHA Work Station WINTERMUTE Samba Server Workgroup Master --------- ------- UTOPIA WINTERMUTE * What does this error mean? (What's it caused by?) And how can I fix it? * Does definition of WorkGroups change across different Windows versions? * Lastly, is there any tricks involved in getting samba to work with Windows XP? I want it so it uses the unix user authentication if possible. I've loaded the WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg patch on XP. I also loaded the Win2000_PlainPassword.reg in the hope I could access my shares from my XP box. Im running Samba-2.2.3a and here is my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = utopia debuglevel = 2 server string = Samba Server load printers = yes log file = /var/log/samba.%m max log size = 50 security = user [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/pub public = yes writable = yes Cheers, David Balnaves -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
