No, but I finally found the issue: I was using an older version of the OS
instead of checking if a new version was available :-/ The latest worked
right away after downloading and activating the Samba module. I should have
checked that, first thing.
Then, all I needed to share files with any user
After editing smb.conf, I always run "/etc/rc.d/rc.samba restart".
The host isn't running a firewall, and the error message mentions "/tmp"
instead of "/plans", so "chmod 777 /plans" did nothing: "chdir (/tmp)
failed, reason: Permission denied"
I don't know if it means anything, but the host is r
Changing to "log level = 3" shows this:

Started over by removing the Windows host from the equation, and connecting
to Samba from within the server.

Thanks but still no go :-/
At this point, I can see the server (Looks like "netbios name" is required,
while I assumed its absence would have Samba use the Unix hostname), but
when I use "c:\net view \\linux", I get the familiar error 5 "Access
denied". Samba still seems to not ignore the Windows
A bit of progress:
1. security = user : doesn't switch from "fred" to "nobody", so it can't
work since the user isn't mapped to "nobody".
2. security = share : switches from "fred" to "nobody", but Access Denied:
check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [nobody] -> [nobody] FAILED
with erro
Thanks for the tip.
However, I read that /etc/passwd only contains hashes and not the actual
passwords, which is why Samba requires adding users to its own database.
Could you share your smb.conf so I see what it looks like when only relying
on entries from /etc/passwd and not prompting Windows u
Thanks for the help.
One thing that isn't clear from what I read on the Net, is whether it is
required to create a user in Samba or if an entry in /etc/passwd is enough
to grant access: Several documents use the "nobody" account which is already
part of /etc/passwd by default, so I didn't original
By editing "log level" to "2", log.smbd nows says "Authentication for user
[fred]" -> FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER".
I read that Samba is able to share files with anonymous users, where all
users will be treated as "nobody": If this indeed possible, what do I need
to do?
Here's my smb
Thanks for the help.
The "nobody" account was available by default in /etc/passwd. This is for a
home setup, and don't have a Windows7 to test.
Some feedback:
1. After adding "security = user" to the [global] section, killing and
restarting smbd/nmbd, XP still returns System error 1326 "Logon fai
Hello
I've googled and experimented for the past few hours but am still stuck
trying to simply share a temporary directory in read-only with anyone on the
LAN.
Here's the smb.conf I'm using:
==
/etc/samba# cat smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
encrypt passwor
How can I build a connection between a PC with WinXP
the samba server with Samba 1.9.17 ?
I'm searching for a possibility to change the registry to
re-enable clear text password ?
