Other people have no trouble mapping the same directory. The only difference with this user is that his PC is running Windows 95 and everyone else is using NT or 2000. He gets the same problem with other mapped directories as well.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Samba - folder does not exist error
Firstly, what level of CIFS authentication are you using? There are some issues related to encrypted passwords and Win95.
Otherwise - is it only when using Explorer he sees this problem, and can he access files in the root dir? Check to see if you are using the veto files option. I've seen a very bizarre error where someone managed to accidentally veto the .. special file which caused problems with Win95, but not WinNT.
regards,
Darren.

Re: Samba - folder does not exist error
I am using server authentication to let my Windows NT PDC take care of user access. Passwords are encrypted.
As far as I am aware, I am not using the veto files option.
It is not just explorer that causes the user a problem. When he uses a command prompt and tries to cd he gets the same problem.

Re: Samba - folder does not exist error
I suggest you have a read of the Win95.txt file in /opt/samba/docs/textdocs and also the following parts of Chapter 6 of the O'Reilly Using Samba book: Server-level security and Passwords. This book is available in html format on your CIFS server via SWAT.
I think you will need to disable encrypted passwords. The best way of doing that is to use a neat feature of CIFS that allows you to have a different config file for different clients. I haven't used this feature in this way before, but basically you need to look at the Variables section in chapter 4 - (especially %a which is the client architecture) and Configuration file options in the same chapter. In this way your config file for Win95 clients would disable encrypted passwords, but for all other clients it would allow them.
regards,
Darren.

SolutionI'm a little confused as I believed case sensitive was no as the default - I guess maybe you'd changed that at some point.
best regards,
Darren.

Re: Samba - folder does not exist error
I did change the default based on the following text in Chapter 2 of HP's "Installing and configuring the CIFS/9000 Server".
"NOTE. HP recommends thath when using CIFS Extensions for UNIX, both the CIFS Client and Server be configured to be case sensitive."
I guess I mis-interpreted this statement.

Re: Samba - folder does not exist error
Ah - that makes sense now! Having case sensitive set to yes is great if you're only using the CIFS client to connect to the shares - that way you're able to work with files in the Un*x way (ie fully case sensitive) rather than the Windows way.

Darren.
