i am attempting to get samba running on my network at home, but am comming across the following problem: I am running samba on a SuSE 6.3 box (not really too important), A WINDOWS box on the network is able to detect that it is there, but can't access it. but, i can ping, finger, telnet, and ftp to the server (named: LINUX) but "network neighborhood" doesn't allow access to it. (for some reason it wants a password.) I have logged onto the WINDOWS box, as USERA and password as USERA (real names and passwords left out) so i figured i could get passed the password problem. NO. i entered in both the user password, and even ROOT password, but no success (yes i know that entering root passwords over SMB is not good because of text/plain type. If i am on the LINUX box, i can run: smbmount //windows/c /mnt and it would mount fine (if i entered the username's password that is logged in.) I can print fine to the printer, however the printer is located on the windows box so that was no problem. I ran the samba setup utility and it is set up for public, and announce as 95 with user something (as opposed to share something or server something). ryan <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2314.1000" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=420272415-06012000>i am attempting to get samba running on my network at home, but am comming across the following problem:</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=420272415-06012000></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=420272415-06012000>I am running samba on a SuSE 6.3 box (not really too important),</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=420272415-06012000>A WINDOWS box on the network is able to detect that it is there, but can't access it. but, i can ping, finger, telnet, and ftp to the server (named: LINUX) but "network neighborhood" doesn't allow access to it.

Did you make a samba user and samba passwd?

Samba has a problem with encrypted vs unencrypted passwords. I forget the default setups, but I think Windows defaults to sending passwords in encrypted form while Samba expects to receive them as plain text. I think the latest version of Samba supports encryption, but I could be wrong there. The standard solution is to change the Windows registry setting so Windows uses unencrypted passwords. This is a FAQ. The registry values are detailed in the /usr/doc/packages/samba directory in the obviously named files. You may need to dig a little deeper in there to find out how to use them if you are not familiar with this sort of stuff.

as far as i have read, it sends them un encrypted, but then i tried seting it up with sending the encrypted passwords and it wouldn't do it. ryan -~->-----Original Message----- -~->From: fountai@hursley.ibm.com [mailto:fountai@hursley.ibm.com] -~->Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2000 10:47 AM -~->To: SuSE English -~->Subject: Re: [SLE] samba... -~-> -~-> -~->Samba has a problem with encrypted vs unencrypted passwords.
