Hi Mark!

Please turn of Digitally Sign Communnications in Domain & Local security policy on the win boxes as this "feature" is not supported by samba under os x.

Can you access folders from OS X on Win boxes?

Regards
Henrik

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the response. Are you sure this is right? None of the docs I have read mention smbpasswd and I was under the impression that the samba on osX uses the system account passwords to authenticate. There is no /etc/samba/smbpasswd but there is a / private/var/db/samba/smbpasswd which is empty. When I try to go 'smbpasswd username' as root it says 'Failed to initialize SAM_ACCOUNT for user username. Does this user exist in the UNIX password database?'

so I tried to go 'passwd username' and it took it but I don't see it in /etc/passwd, which isn't even where I think osX saves passwords. I'm not even sure if the username I'm supposed to be logging in with is the osX account 'Name' or the 'Short Name' so I'm trying both.

This is driving me nuts. I can't believe anyone has ever gotten this to work.

Thanks for any help.

- Mark

Hello, Mark.
This might mean that you have not the same user name or password on both machines. please check that first. It is no problem to have different user names, but you must then edit your /etc/samba/ smbpasswd file to put in there the proper user and password that you want to access from the windows machine. This makes like a bridge from one user to another user name (or same user name but another password) on the samba machine.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Daniel

Subject: [Samba] can't connect to osx 10.3 from win2k
I'm trying to connect to a share on osx running samba 3.0.10 and I keep
getting 'incorrect password or unknown username'. Any ideas what the
problem is?
Thanks
