Hello Samba Gurus, I have configured my Samba install to be a domain member of a NT4-Style domain. The version of samba used is 3.0.13. The domain joining process worked fine (net rpc join). An excerpt of smb.conf is provided at the end for reference.
The problem is that when users access this server, they are challenged for the username password. I was of the impression that this process would be seamless to the user. On providing the NT username/password, the login process still fails. It just comes back with the same prompt challenging the user. These users are added in /etc/passwd but not in smbpasswd, as per the documentation. On using smbclient: # ./smbclient -d 3 -U akamdar -L localhost This was the output obtained: lp_load: refreshing parameters Initialising global parameters params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file "/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf" Processing section "[global]" added interface ip=192.168.2.37 bcast=192.168.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Client started (version 3.0.13). resolve_lmhosts: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name localhost<0x20> resolve_wins: Attempting wins lookup for name localhost<0x20> resolve_wins: WINS server resolution selected and no WINS servers listed. resolve_hosts: Attempting host lookup for name localhost<0x20> Connecting to 127.0.0.1 at port 445 Password: Doing spnego session setup (blob length=58) got OID=1 3 6 1 4 1 311 2 2 10 got principal=NONE Got challenge flags: Got NTLMSSP neg_flags=0x60890215 NTLMSSP: Set final flags: Got NTLMSSP neg_flags=0x60080215 NTLMSSP Sign/Seal - Initialising with flags: Got NTLMSSP neg_flags=0x60080215 SPNEGO login failed: Access denied session setup failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED Can someone please help me understand what exactly is causing this problem and of possible solutions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
