I just upgraded a file server from suse pro 7.3 with samba 2.2 to suse
9.3 with samba 3.0.13 and I have major problems.
Actually did a clean install, leaving the old home directory alone. Did backup all important data and made copies of the smb.conf file and other files.
The enfironment is an office with the suse server, and windows xp home workstations. The server is a Dell GX110, PIII (don't remember the speed, about 733 MHz), 256 MB RAM.
This system was working fine with Suse 7.3, but I figured a newer kernel and updated security would be better for now and the future.
The windows systems (XP Home, sp2) cannot get access to the server. After invoking My Network Places, and clicking on the "view workgroup" selection, the system shows up. But clicking on it gets an error message saying
user doesn't have access rights.
I checked, rechecked, and checked again the user rights for the users,
Stopping the firewall altogether may be a quick way of finding out if the
firewall is in fact the problem, use yast to stop the firewall and remove it
from the boot up sequence.
Then try again, I have found that when using pam_smb to auth one needs to
specify the "auth server" name on the login string so something like
server\user then type the password.
Double clicking the share you are trying to access prompts for login.
Also make sure that if the SMB server is not a PDC that it's in the PDC's
workgroup. If there is no PDC then make the SMB server a PDC

entered, blew away, then reentered the smbpasswd info. No joy.
So, I need to get up in a few hours and get to the client's office at bout 7AM and hope I can get this thing running again before the office opens.
Anyone have any ideas about this? I'm going to try and get a few hours sleep and get back to it early. Any help is appreciated.
