winXP to HP-UX drive Mapping

[David Johnson_5]

I am running HP-UX 11.0 and I want to map home directories to winXP machines.

error:
The account is not authorized to login from this Station.

Could Someone please send me in the right direction to fix this.

I am Not running Samba or any special Windows to Unix software

David,

not clear, are you trying to map HP-UX directories to a user's XP environment (so that user can browse said dirs from XP)? or the other way around?

If the former, I think you'll have to run Samba to share them.

[Joaquin Gil de Vergara]

Use the free software Samba or de Advanced Server/UX (not free) and set up it correctly

In the drive mapping of winXP you can put a suffix with the user you want to logon on preceed with a %
(\\hp9000\share%user1)

the file systems used on XP and HP-UX are completely different on HP using HFS , VxFS or MxVM your filesystem structure isn't recognised without any interlaying software , you need either NFS , SAMBA etc... for this you will either have to install both on the HP-ux and the XP client software to exchange the directories for usage and configuretbehm ok (SAMBA) or only use a PC client softweare capable of understanding a HP supported protocol (NFS)

for instance running Hummingbird NFS client software on the PC could allow you to have the XP users accounts on the HP , the same with SAMBA , which officially is called CIFS9000 on HP-UX or using a freeware version of it (this is not supported by HP)

be aware that HP-UX has many security constrains and filesystems/directories have permissions so if you use any of these users you should take into account that mounting a user on a HP_UX requires a UserID and a Group ID which XP doexn't have , this is normally provided by the client software setup , if it is not corrdctly configured you could indeed be refused access to the directories or files

Hi David,

The other replies to your questions are suggesting that you are trying to export directories from your HPUX box so that they can be mapped onto a WinXP client using CIFS/Samba server. Is this what you are trying to achieve, or are you trying to do the opposite - ie you want your HPUX system's home directories to be on the WinXP boxes? If so you should consider using CIFS client, which allows Windows network shares to be mounted on HPUX clients.

Please also explain where you are seeing the error you mentioned and what commands you are running at this point.

regards,

Darren.

I am going to assume that you have Samba installed and working. I'll bet that it works with Window 9x and now you have an XP PC that it doesn't like. You probably have Samba set to not use encrypted password, they may call it "plain text" and the XP system, by default uses encyrpted password. You will either have to change the security settings on XP to pass plain text passwords or you will have to configure Samba to use excryped password. The down side is that it uses either or, so if you take the high road and use encrypted passwords you will have to change all of the other's to encrypted and create a samba passwd file with the newly encrypted password, and then change all of the other Windows systems to use encrypted.

Long story short, the new XP system is sending a password that your HPUX system doesn't recognise and it gives that error.
