Samba : Access Denied.

[Russ Hancock_1]

I've just install Samba|CIFS/9000 on my new workstation, The nmdb and smbd processes are running and the smbclient test commands work internally to the samba machine.
But, when I try to connect from a WinNT box I get the following errors:

Z:\>net view node34
System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers

Russ,

You will have to do one of 2 things:

1) Use the EnablePlainTextPassword reghack referenced in the thread listed above on ALL of the windows boxes that will access the samba server.

-OR-

2) Add 'encrypt passwords = yes' and 'smb passwd file = /path/to/smbpasswd' to your smb.conf file. Then use 'smbpasswd -a ' to create new samba users and set a password. must already exist in /etc/passwd or smbpasswd will fail.

Hope this helps,
Tony

Thanks Tony,

You second suggestion worked for me, I tried the reghack but it made no difference.
