Samba Help
 

Hi I configured and am trying to set up samba. Below is my smb.conf file but my problem is whenever I smbclient -L localhost and I type the password I have set for my username and root it gives me this error. session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. I don't know what I have set up wrong or what I need to do. Im using Samba 3.0.7. Help would be appreciated.

Welcome to LQ.

Have you created samba users seperate from local system users?

Some ideas to consider.

1. I advise against allowing root to have samba access.

2. Try having the default user and the actual user the same

3. Samba can be configured to use its own password list, separate from your unix standard user/password list. This seems to be the default on my system. If you use webmin, you can easily specify that these be synchronized.

Yes I have made user accounts seperate from my system accounts Do I somehow have to specify which one I want to log on from? Im confused.

At this point my brain has shut down.
On the linux play box I am trying to install & configure wine & I am in overload.

Try this approach

no, that won't work....

e-mail me and I will send you some different (working) smb.conf file - I will not post then here 'cause it will take too much time to edit them

You must apply the same user/passwd pair in both sambaserver (smbpasswd) lindoze and eventually in any windoze connected.
