[help]about the samba problem.[help]

[zhangr_2]

I've installed the lastest version of samba from HP,"B8725AA A.01.09.05 CIFS/9000 Server"
I only use default setting on the samba.conf .and I met some problem for long time.
some time,the enduser complain to me they can't connected to the samba server via their win2000 client with the command "\\sambaserver" in the "start-->run" field. and the strange thing is some other guy can connected to the samba server at the same time with the same way?
right now all I can do is restart the samba services,when they complain to me.but I think there must some thing wrong with my samba server.could any one give me some clues,
that I can follow? thanks.

BTW:in the samba.conf I use all the default value.

If your sure that you have the smb.conf file correct, follow these:

Have your people update their PDC access server.

# /opt/samba/bin/smbpasswd -r -U -j

Once this has been successful, restart your samba process.

# /sbin/init.d/samba stop
# /sbin/init.d/samba start

test the connectivity.

Also refer to this document:
/opt/samba/docs/textdocs/DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt for more detail.

Hi,

If you're using the default settings you will be using user level security. This requires each Windows user to have an equivalent HP-UX user (username map can be used to map between the 2) and each user requires an entry in the smbpasswd file. This level of security does not authenticate against the PDC.

I'd suggest you also check through the logs under /var/opt/samba, feel free to post any errors you think are relevant so that others can advise you.

regards,

Darren.
