The "encrypt passwords" option specifies whether or not Samba expects plain-text or encrypted passwords to be transmitted from the client, and it also affects how those passwords are stored in the smbpasswd file. As I understand it, encrypted passwords are required in order for Samba to work correctly with modern version of Windows (2000 and newer). This option should be enabled unless you have some specific reason to disable it. - Dave -- Dave Parker Utica College Integrated Information Technology Services (315) 792-3229 Registered Linux User #408177 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You might simply be missing a line in your config file or something. In your smb.conf: # Guest account guest account = smbguest # Security mode security = user # Passwords encrypt passwords = true smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* pam password change = yes # User authentication username map = /etc/samba/smbusers obey pam restrictions = yes # Anonymous users mapped to guest user map to guest = bad user In your smbusers file, map Linux usernames to Windows usernames: smbguest = "guest" myuser = "My User" So the Windows user "My User" would get mapped to the Linux user myuser. You can specify passwords for the Samba users using smbpasswd: smbpasswd -c /etc/samba/smb.conf myuser And just replace /etc/samba with the path to your smb.conf file if it is different. This works fine for me from Windows XP. When I access a Samba share I get prompted for the password, and if I put in an incorrect password then I get re-prompted a few times and eventually locked out (technically I get mapped to the Samba guest user, but my guest user has no access). If I put in the correct password then itall works fine. Hope this helps. - Dave
samba query
Hi, How can I make samba only accept log ins, if the password supplied by the client, matches that username on the server? eg. blank or wrong passwords shouldn't be allowed access to the server, so how do I enable this? It seems samba by default accepts blank passwords, and lets the client mount the share, or even if the password is wrong. Also, will this behaviour that I am asking about be compatible with win xp? I'll add a user on the linux server, with the same user name as the xp one, will the xp client be able to connect? Thanks, Dan. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
