net view CIFS server using name doesn't work as domain user

[Gerhard Gross]

I have installed CIFS server A.02.02 and want to use it simply with "security = share", but it doesn't work as desired.

"net view \\" works when I use the ip address for , or when I am logged in as a local user (no matter whether I use the ip address or the name).

When I am logged in as a domain user (on Windows 2000 or XP in native 2003 domain), I get "System error 1240 has occurred. The account is not authorized to log in from this station." or "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied.", depending on the computer, sometimes both errors on the same computer.

Similar behavior with "net use".

I have spent a lot of time searching for the reason, but nothing found. What is wrong?

Thanks

Gerhard.

use security=domain

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

CIFS client must be installed.

/opt/samba/bin/net join

you will need a user id and admin password from the domain.

SEP,

I managed the access to Samba according to your hint.

I experienced that "net view \\" results in "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied", when the user doesn't have an account on the CIFS server. I use "map to guest = Bad User" to map those users to the guest account, and it works.

Thanks for your help!
