Samba error

[PVR]

When I try to connect to HP-Unix samba server from a win nt machine, I am getting the window to give user name and password. but After giving proper UN and passwd, am getting the error that this account is not authorized to login from this station.

In samba security is set as user.

Can you throw some light on this issue ?

Thanks in advance !!

hello pvr,
if you are using samba for hpux 10.2, then you have to add the user as samba user with smbpasswd -a command, prior to login from windows with that user name.
SYNTAX
#smbpasswd -a UN password

I haven't checked it in hpux11.0 and above.
maybe you will have to add that UN to some samba users file.I will try to get the information for you on hpux11.0

HI

This has been done already and verified with smbpasswd file. Users are added to samba

after this command
#smbpasswd -a UN password
enable the user
#smbpasswd -e UN
then it will ask for password.

Hope it should work at your it site also

cheers

If you have limited the connections only to some machines check the IP addresses and include the one of the machine you like to access the CIFS share.
It would help as well, if you could provide the smb.conf file.

The key to your problem is the error message phrase "account is not authorized to login from this station". This occurs due to workstation restrictions in the NT/2000 domain (regardless of whether the domain is local or network-wide). You need to add the Samba server to the list of valid (login) workstations.
