about samba

[Niraj Kumar Verma]

Hi,

If you are accessing from any
Windows system, then you need to enable the plain text password. Because when windows send the password to any server by default it sends encrypted password.

And also try giving only 8 char of your password.

Here is some links about samba and how to enable the plain text password.

hi,
you did not define the interface ip address in
smb.conf .
interfaces = "your_interface_ip"
bind interfaces only = Yes

In windows 2000 pro you need to change the local security policy.

Start->Setting->Control-panel
->Administrative tools
->Local security policy
->click on Local Policies
->Security options
-> check for a policy reads as follows

"Send unencrypted password to connect to third party SMB server"

double click on it and enable it.
by default it will be disabled.

Restart the system now and try

-Niraj
