Samba - Unable to connect from W2K professional

[Dayanand Naik]

Hi Folks,

2day i have installed, configured Samba in out domain network. The server name is getting displayed on the MS network, and i am able to see the shares. But when i click on the share, enter network password dialog box appears asking me for the userid/passwword, i tried all combination but not able to go thru.

I have not enabled password encryption, Can any one tell me what other configuration is required for the same or i have missed any step.

Regards,
Dayanand Naik.

I have seen on SAMBA that the username and password of the machine that you are connecting from must be the same as the username and password that has been configured on the SAMBA server. Meaning that you have to login with the same username and password you have configured on SAMBA onto Windows.

Hey,

Which version you are using? Most problems
have been solved in versions from 2.0.7.

hello,
you have two daemons for samba.
One is nmbd which is for viewing your samba server on the network.Other is the smbd which is used for sharing.
These binaries are located in /usr/local/samba/bin by default.
Start them on your server.
Now on your NT or 2000 client install the respective .reg file(registry file) and do a reboot.
The registry file is located in the docs sub direcotry of the samba home directory.
It will work.

Thanks

Hello,

Use smbpasswd commands to create smbpasswd file. e.g.
If you have installed Samba at /usr/local/samba directory, then the location for smbpasswd file is /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd

Use smbpasswd utility to crate above file, e.g. /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a username
