Your problem is that you have encrypt passwords = no. You will either need to apply a registry update to enable plaintext passwords on all the windows machines or enable encrypted passwords (and create the passwords in the smbpasswd file). You may run into problems with locking on nfs mounted directories if you try to access files from the unix machines and the windows machines at the same time.

Hi All

Some background first

I have been asked to set up an environment involving three machines

1. A windows 2000 client
2. A Solaris 8 E450 / NIS client
3. An SGI IRIX fileserver/ NIS server holding user home directories


The E450 NFS mounts the SGI and users have their home directories on the SGI. When users want to test their application software they ssh from their windows client into the Solaris machine and use their files in their home directory on the SGI. Authentication is managed by NIS. That all works fine.


The icing on the cake is that users also want to see their home directories from their windows machine as a share...enter SAMBA

I installed SAMBA on the Solaris E450. (because I have complete control on the Solaris machine but I can only make requests regarding the SGI)


Now the problem: When I try to mount the share in windows from the command prompt using: "net use h: \\mar-pepe\lrathbone", I get the error :
System error 1240 has occurred.
The account is not authorized to log in from this station.


When I try to log in from any UNIX box (Solaris/Linux) using: "smbclient //mar-pepe/lrathbone -U lrathbone" ,I have no problem getting in.

I was wondering if anyone could spot the problem with my configuration?

Thanks in advance
