Accessing CIFS from windows95/98

[Senthilkumaran.T]

Hi,

The CIFS (Samba) is installed in the N Class server with HPUX 11.0. The CIFS server and client also installed in this server.
B8724AA A.01.05 CIFS/9000 Client
B8725AA A.01.05 CIFS/9000 Server

The CIFS server connection is sucessful for WindowsNT, or WIN2K PCs to UNIX Server. We have no problem of doing the mapping from these servers.

When we do mapping from windows95/98, we are getting this error messge "The Password is incorrect, Try Again". When we connect from HPUX 10.20 Server with old samba product, It is working fine.

Please let me know, What could be the problems?

Thanks
Senthil

Senthil,

Probably a password encryption issue. Try reversing your current setting and try it.

About password/encryption you will find more information on your CIFS-server in the files:
/opt/samba/docs/textdocs/
ENCRYPTION.txt
Win95.txt
WinNT.txt

Also check you samba-logs (probably at /var/opt/samba/log.smb) for entries with invalid password. Make shure the correct user-id was used, when connecting from win95/98 machines.

Hi,

From the log file, the samba is trying to login as the NT user name, But in our actual case it should not be. The following is the samba log file.

[2002/02/21 12:39:39, 1] smbd/reply.c:(925)
Rejecting user 'lyt': authentication failed

I tried to login as user called 'tztool'

Have you thing any solutions?

The problem might be, that with windows98 you can not use a different username for connecting to shares. It always uses the username from the original windows98 login.

If you have a fixed mapping of windows-users ('lyt') to unix-account ('tztool') you can use the samba "username map" option.
