Using smbpasswd on Mdk 9
For some reason, I'm unable to connect to my samba server from windows with the samba username and password. I can see the shares from wndows, but it wont take any username / password combination I put in. On my linux box, I have a user called gopher1. I have also added this user with the same password using smbpasswd -a gopher1 password. With this username in both linux and samba with the same password, I should be able to connect using this username combination from a windows machine, right ? I've even tried setting the samba password file = /etc/passwd with no luck. I did cat /etc/samba/smbusers and the username gopher1 isn't there even though I added it with the smbpasswd -a command and a reply of user added. Is there any way other than looking in the smbusers file to tell if a smbuser really exists or not ?
Using netconf, I can disable the "only allow users to connect" option and then I can connect with no problem and it never ask me for a username or password, but then anybody on the network can also connect without a username or password that wouldn't be good. |
What does your smb.conf file look like? If you post it we can see if that isn't the problem.

I only need myself and a couple of other network users with accounts already existing on this machine to be able to connect to shares on this machine
# 1. Server Naming Options: # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup = GIANT # netbios name is the name you will see in "Network Neighbourhood", # but defaults to your hostname netbios name = CINIZAWEB # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = Samba Server %v # Message command is run by samba when a "popup" message is sent to it. # The example below is for use with LinPopUp: ; message command = /usr/bin/linpopup "%f" "%m" %s; rm %s # 2. Printing Options: # CHANGES TO ENABLE PRINTING ON ALL CUPS PRINTERS IN THE NETWORK # (as cups is now used in linux-mandrake 7.2 by default) # if you want to automatically load your printer list rather # than setting them up individually then you'll need this printcap name = cups load printers = yes # It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless # yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include: # bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx, cups printing = cups # Samba 2.2 supports the Windows NT-style point-and-print feature. To # use this, you need to be able to upload print drivers to the samba # server. The printer admins (or root) may install drivers onto samba. # Note that this feature uses the print$ share, so you will need to # enable it below. # This parameter works like domain admin group: # printer admin = @<group> <user> printer admin = @adm # This should work well for winbind: ; printer admin = @"Domain Admins" # 3.

Well I basically only see your printer shares setup and the home directories. Is it the users home directory your trying to access?
You can always try adding this to a share: valid users = user1, user2 I had the same error when I was setting up Samba on a Linux box where I had guest disabled and wanted a prompt for a userid and password. It was giving me a access denied until I added the valid users option with the user account I had setup to access and password given with the smbpasswd -a to set the password. A sample smb.conf file I am using: Code:

thanks
Thanks for posting that sample file. I'll compare it to my own and let you know if I find something that helps....
