SAMBA

Michael Murphy_9 — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 09:04:53 GMT

Trying to connect a Windows server 2003 sp2 to HPUX 11.23. It has been since the mid 90's since I've even touched this. I can look at the shares fom my PC but can't see them from the Windows server. There is NO AD domain and I was just trying the workgroup setup. Security = share but it always prompts for a guest login and password on the Windows box and doesn't give me the option of changing the ID. If someone has a link for me with setup instructions, that would be great.

Shalom,

To work with windows you need to do one of the following:

security=domain or security=ads

net join (the domain with a windows admin id and password)

Or

security=user
smbpasswd -a

SEP, I've tried your suggestion an now it tells me that the account is not authorized to login from this station. This is pretty much what I've been running into. I have a user ID that is the same on the Windows box and the HP box and that user is also entered in SAMBA but no luck.

Hi,

what is in the log for the W2K3-Server on the SMB-Server?

If W2K3 doesn't let you change your ID, try it with creating a users.map on the SMB-Server.
This would solve this issue.

encrypt passwords = yes
passdb backend = tdbsam

Michael,

Greetings.

Conttinue with your SECURITY = SHARE approach IF you really do not need the Domain authentication and security. And if you can access the shares from your PC and not from your Win2K server,

1.) Is the user that you're logged in on the Win2003 server existent on your UNIX SAMBA server?
2.) Is your Win2003 Server's Domain set to the WORKGROUP you have defined on your SAMBA machine?
