Hi, I am trying to setup a CentOS staging server as part of my development/testing setup. CentOS is working fine and I'm able to connect via SSH and HTTP without isssue.
I want directly edit code on the CentOS server from my main tower running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit but I'm struggling to authenticate a connection. I'm at a point where Windows knows there is a share available but will not accept the username/password. Samba Version is 3.5.4-68.e16_0.2 Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf: [global] workgroup = WEBBEDIT netbios name = smbserver security = SHARE load printers = No default service = global path = /home available = No encrypt passwords = yes [html] writeable = yes admin users = smbuser path = /var/www/html force user = root valid users = smbuser public = yes available = yes Here is the latest output from /var/log/messages: Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.147181, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.150044, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.157827, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.159508, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.238650, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.239990, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.249908, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.251297, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.253695, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.255188, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.257566, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.259104, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.261438, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.262970, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:08:58.286836, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:08:58 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:09:07 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:09:07.258120, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:09:07 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:09:08 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:09:08.573976, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:09:08 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:09:09 localhost smbd[5204]: [2011/09/06 17:09:09.325989, 0] smbd/password.c:857(authorise_login) Sep 6 17:09:09 localhost smbd[5204]: authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody Sep 6 17:09:44 localhost smbd[5231]: [2011/09/06 17:09:44.016121, 0] smbd/service.c:942(make_connection_snum) Sep 6 17:09:44 localhost smbd[5231]: Can't become connected user! It seems that as I boot up windows it tries to make connections itself which fail with 'authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody' then when I try to make a connection myself and supply a username and password I get 'Can't become connected user!' I got the conf contents from a blog which states those settings are very open, so I am aware they should not be used on a publicly available machine. I opened up my Firewall hence why Windows is at least attempting to connect. I've seen in various places mention of altering Local Security policies, but they do not seem to have helped. Could someone help me out here or direct me to a GOOD tutorial anywhere that would guide me through this process from scratch? Thanks, Paul. -- View this message in context: http://samba.2283325.n4.nabble.com/Samba-CentOS-Windows-7-Ultimate-64-no-login-tp3793880p3793880.html Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
