RE: [expert] SMB Help Please.
Thank you for the insite to correct my setup. I now have encrypt passwords = yes and security = users now and it works. I needed to learn about 'smbpasswd'. I really didn't want to have to maintain passwords in two places, but... Part of my problem was that I was reading a book on SAMBA and it went into great detail about encrypt passwords and how to enable plain text passwords, but hadn't mentioned smbpasswd yet. But yet the book expected you to have been able to use the shares by now. I had gotten it to work the other way first. So there are two ways to get it to work. Depends partly on how much security you really need.

Re: [expert] SMB Help Please.
I echo the sentiments of a previous poster; please read the docs in /usr/doc/samba*. I moved my NT SP5 system over to Linux/Samba, and I had to pour over the docs to fully understand all parts of it. You need to answer some important questions for yourself, such as: "Will Samba act as the PDC, or will NT retain this function?" Anyway, reading all of the docs, especially 'diagnosis.txt' under ../textdocs will help you get there. There are many ways to use Samba; unfortunately, you will need to understand all of them before you can approach this efficiently. Tim webmedic wrote: Probably the most common problem is to allow guest users on samba. It can be set up but the easiest way is to just turn it off. Next make sure that for every user that you want to have access to samba shares is also on your linux box as a user or else have them log on as an existing user on your linux box.

Re: [expert] SMB Help Please.
Sounds like you need to read up on WINS support. See the samba docs under /usr/doc/samba*. Do you have a router separating the two networks? Tim Sean Armstrong wrote: Try and get an answer from SAMBA. Good luck. I've tried that already and got ZERO response. The reason why I posted it here was because this was a problem with the smb bundled with LM 6.1. Since I couldn't find help from SAMBA I decided to ask this group of Knowledgable folks. Plus, the purpose of this group is not only for Mandrake problems, which there are quite a few with the new 7.0 release, but it is also to help expand the general knowledge of linux, since Mandrake is nothing more than a distribution of linux and really doesn't have much in the way of proprietary software. Anyways, I digress, I think I might have discovered the problem I'm having with SAMBA and wanted to run this by everyone. Since I'm talking to a NT box on an NT network with a Linux box and SAMBA use tcp/ip to do this, I realized that my NT username and logon password only worked on the main NT domain, and the Box I'm trying to talk to is on a seperate IP block. Since my Linux box and this NT box are on the same IP block and the NT network is on a different IP block, the box is not recognizing my NT username and password. I realized this when I tried to logonto this NT box through the box itself on the Box's domain instead of the NT domain. So how do I create a seperate local network between My Linux box and this NT box? As you can tell my NT knowledge is very low. Any help with this problem would be gretly appreciated.

Recently Microsoft changed the algorithm used to encrypt passwords(WinNT SP3) and SAMBA hasn't caught up with that. You need to enable plain text passwords on your Windows machines and this problem should go away. This is misinformation. First of all, you used "recently" and to refer to "WinNT SP3". Huh? SP3 is several years old now. That's not recently, especially in the computer industry. Secondly, samba does work with encrypted passwords and WinNT and any service pack (up to and including SP6 in my personal experience). See Microsoft technical articles #Q187228 and Q166730 for the registry entries to enable plain text passwords.(which are not really plain text, but that's another subject) Don't enable plain text passwords unless you really need to. Read the samba documentation to learn when it may be necessary to enable plain text passwords. -Original Message- From: Sean Armstrong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2000 2:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] SMB Help Please.

Probably the most common problem is to allow guest users on samba. It can be set up but the easiest way is to just turn it off. Next make sure that for every user that you want to have access to samba shares is also on your linux box as a user or else have them log on as an existing user on your linux box.

I tried encrypted passwords yes and no in the SAMBA config and it just plain did not work. WinNT SP3 was when Microsoft changed their password encryption and that's why I mentioned SP3. This new password scheme has been included in Win95 patches and is now in Win98. If I am doing something wrong, please give me some constructive answers. Lyle

I'm guessing because of the previous errors the smbumount command could not dismount this drive right away. Are my acces problems due to my SAMBA or to the NT network I'm connected to? I'm running Mandrake 6.1 on a 133 Mhz pentium DELL computer. Any Ideas? Please don't say contact the SAMBA people because I am never able to get an answer from them.
