Subject: Continued issues with SMB
Evening all-
I have tried virtually every suggestion tossed at me by people to get smb
running correctly to no avail. Here are my problems-
486 firewall/ipmasq- need to run samba to see outside world
p180 file server
p75 laptop- syncs files off of server (win95)
II450 workstation- syncs files to server and firewall (win98)
---
No problem here at all, though you'll have to enable Samba's WINS support if
you want the "outside world" to see your Win9X shares...
---
Now i'm told that win98 and NT4 use encrypted pwds, while 95 does not.
---
Correct, so what?
Samba supports encrypted passwords just fine, you merely have to turn it on
and then create samba user accounts...
Remember a Linux account doth not necessarily make a Samba user valid!
Sic.
--
Regardless, the only share I enter is the netlogon share- and even if i
comment out the thing in smb.conf, I still can see it!
---
Correct, if you are using Domain (NT style) logins...
---
I've tried passwords changes, configuration changes, reboots... nothing
has let me see into my directory (hirsch)- both window boxes and NT boxes
at school use that as a valid logon.
---
Well is "hirsch" on your Samba machine?
If so remember that a share is not the same thing as a samba USER.
Shares can be assigned to Samba users. Samba users can see shares assigned
to them... get it? The SAMBA user must be able to log in.
A typical debugging trick is to use testparms and smbclient locally.
Thus if you have created the samba USER called "john" you can do this...
"smbclient -L NAMEOFSAMBA -U john"
(where "NAMEOFSAMBA" is the NAME of your SAMBA server as defined in
/etc/smb.conf)
You should get back a password prompt. You should then enter the SAMBA
password you gave to the SAMBA user called "john". If you did this
correctly, you'll get back a list of samba shares which you have defined and
which machine is the browse master.
If the login is rejected with an error, you have no such user... but Samba
is running just fine...
---
So what else might i start poking my head into?
---
A good book on "Integrating Samba and NT".
This will get you past all the nuances...
