I am trying to run Samba 3.0.24-11.fc6 on Fedora Core 6. I've run across two problems that are keeping me from being successful.
1. IPTables. Even when I configure it through Webmin to not run at startup, it does anyway. I consider this a minor problem, at least for now, although I wouldn't mind some input on how to configure it to allow Samba. 2. Access to shares. We are running an NT4 network. I have joined the Samba server to the domain and can see it in the browse list on my XP machine. I can also see the shares. However, when I double-click on the shares, I am prompted for a password which fails. I have been through Samba Security and Troubleshooting guide from Linux Home Networking and numerous other documents with no positive results. This is the test that fails: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www]# smbclient //Custer/Intranet -U ccarpenter Password: Domain=[HCCMHMRC] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24-11.fc6] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME This test works (Colnago being the PDC): [EMAIL PROTECTED] www]# smbclient -L Custer Password: Anonymous login successful Domain=[HCCMHMRC] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24-11.fc6] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- Intranet Disk IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Intranet) Anonymous login successful Domain=[HCCMHMRC] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24-11.fc6] Server Comment --------- ------- COLNAGO CUSTER Intranet Workgroup Master --------- ------- HCCMHMRC COLNAGO My username on the NT4 network is exactly the same as on the Samba server; however, I have no password on the Samba server. I use this setup on several other servers with no problem, which is part of the irony of the situation. I have another server running FC6 and the same version of Samba and it works perfectly. The only difference that I can tell is that I got Samba working straight off the FC6 installation disks before doing any updates whereas this time I did all the updates first. I have checked for the existence of a 'msdfs'; none could be found. I do not have SELinux installed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www]# rpm -q selinux package selinux is not installed Testparm shows the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www]# testparm -s Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[Intranet]" Loaded services file OK.

Any help with this would be appreciated. It's really annoying when my boss sticks his head in the door every 20 minutes and says "Well?"
