Public bug reported:
I was using smbclient as part of my autofs setup to enumerate remote
shares. This worked fine on a previous release of Ubuntu 13.10, however
when I upgraded to 14.04, my shares no longer got enumerated.
When I debugged further, I was getting logon errors. As a workground, it
was suggested I modify the smb.conf file and change the workgroup
setting there. This appeared to work, but doesn't make sense to me. I
shouldn't need to change smb.conf (used for smbd server) for client
usage. I would expect the authfile passed to -A to be used for
authentication purposes.
Before smb.conf change:
user@workstation:/$ sudo /usr/bin/smbclient -A /etc/auto.credentials -gL
server
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
After modifying smb.conf (changed workgroup parameter to my domain name):
user@workstation:/$ sudo /usr/bin/smbclient -A /etc/auto.credentials -gL
server
Domain=[mydomain] OS=[Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard 9600] Server=[Windows
Server 2012 R2 Standard 6.3]
Disk|mysharename|
snipped list fo sharenames
Domain=[mydomain] OS=[Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard 9600] Server=[Windows
Server 2012 R2 Standard 6.3]
My auto.credentials file is like so (as documented in smbclient manpage).
username=username
password=password
domain=domain/workgroup
