In an "out of the box" Suse 7.2 i'm trying to view some samba shares, in a WinNT domain, with WinNT and Win2k workstations. I can view the computer in "my network places" but when i try to browse for shares, i get a "you are not authorized to logon from this workstation" message..
Windows NT (and later win9x) use encrypted passwords. You have adopted the
default Samba setting: plain-text password along with user name. The Samba
server will verify the username/password pair with /etc/password. You need to
do one of two things:
1. Enable plain text password in Windows NT; or
2. Enable encypted passwords in Samba.
I can advice on this later once you've made the choice (#2 recommended). I'm
assuming that you have created /home accounts on your Linux box that match
the username/password pair on Windows NT.
