i installed Sharity 2.9 on a Sun Solaris machine. I created a user named vod on Windows 2000 and Windows XP with password test123 for example.
When i try to login to the machines (Pcs) using the cifslogin command as follow: cifslogin <PC name> -U vod -P test123 .
This is successful when logging to Windows 2000 machine but logging to the XP one i got two error messages as follow :
SVR: Bad password
FRW: Abort by user
Does anybody know what's wrong here when logging to Windows XP?
One other thing which i think is a bug: if i type the command without the -P and password i am prompted to give the password if i just type <ENTER> i am getting logged to the XP machine.Which i think is not correct. It should not accept the login because no password was given. I could use this but for my purpose i cannot use the interactivity that's why i use the -P <password>.
XP comes in two flavors: XP Home and XP Professional. One of the differences (the main difference) is that the home version does not have a "real" CIFS server. "Not real" affects mostly authentication. When you enable file sharing on XP home, everyone in your network can access the files WITHOUT a password. As you have found out, the login even fails IF you specify a password.
So, to log in to XP home, use
cifslogin computername -U username -P ""
That should do the trick.
