NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE fedora 10 with latest samba

linux hates me · 06-04-2009, 03:39 AM

I just installed samba and the smb.conf is as follows

Code:

[global]
   workgroup = NUS
   valid users = Admin,Tech
   read only = no
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
   netbios name = kiska
   server string = Samba %v on (%L)
   security = user
   hosts allow = 192.168.
   load printers = yes
   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   printing = cups
   cups options = raw
   log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
   max log size = 50
   passdb backend = tdbsam
   local master = yes
   os level = 33
   domain master = yes
   preferred master = yes
   wins support = no
   dns proxy = no

[homes]
   comment = [Insert Title Here]
   browseable = no
   writeable = yes

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /usr/spool/samba
   browseable = No
   guest ok = No
   writable = No
   printable = Yes

[businesses]
	path = /home/businesses
	read only = no

I have added a user via

Code:

smbpasswd -a Admin
smbpasswd -e Admin

then I enter

Code:

smbclient //kiska/Admin
enter root's password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILED

I put in the Admin password and the root's password and neither work. I keep getting that message no matter what I do.

any Ideas

you need to add root as well, and use the same password as the unix password.
# smbpasswd -a root

Quote:

smbclient //kiska/Admin

means you are connecting to a share called Admin, But in your case you dont have that share. If you want to connect as a specific user, you use -U option
If you want to connect to the server, instead, just do:

Quote:

# smbclient //kiska/businesses -U Admin (to connect to share 'businesses'as admin)
# smbclient //kiska/businesses -U root (to connect to share 'businesses' as root)

ok That worked beautifully
now that I have that out of the way, I want to figure out how to see the share "businesses" on my windows xp and vista machines. right now they are not visible in "my network places"

thanx for any imput

here is an update of my smb.conf file if it helps any

Code:

[global]
	log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
	load printers = yes
	socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
	null passwords = yes
	domain master = yes
	hosts allow = 192.168.
	passdb backend = tdbsam
	dns proxy = no
	netbios name = Kiska
	cups options = raw
	writable = yes
	server string = Samba %v on (%L)
	printing = cups
	local master = yes
	workgroup = NUS
	os level = 33
	valid users = Admin,Tech
	printcap name = /etc/printcap
	max log size = 50
	interfaces =  eth0 lo 192.168.1.1 


[IPC$]
    path = /tmp
    hosts allow = 10.143.0.0/16, 127.0.0.1, 10.159.0.0/16, 10.150.0.0/16
    hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 


[homes]
   comment = [Insert Title Here]
   browseable = no
   writeable = yes

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /usr/spool/samba
   browseable = No
   guest ok = No
   writable = No
   printable = Yes

[businesses]
	valid users = Admin,Tech
	public = yes

        readable = yes
        guest ok = yes

from windows:

Quote:

start --> run --> type: \\kiska\

or:

Quote:

start --> run --> type: cmd --> in command prompt, type: net use M: \\kiska\businesses

if you go to 'My Computer, you should be able to see a drive M: which is your business share

linux hates me · 06-04-2009, 04:54 AM

in both cases it told me that there was no such directory as \\kiska or that it couldnt find that directory or server

is this server a domain controller for your domain? If so, are the windows computers joined to the domain?
Can you reach this server form windows (# ping kiska)? is it in the dns? if not, can you ping it with its ip address from windows (ping 192.168.x.x)? if so then try;
net use M: \\192.169.x.x\businesses

linux hates me · 06-04-2009, 04:58 AM

I dont think that the linux box is the domain controller. but what does the domain controller do?

the pings came back perfectly

also I just tried "smbclient -L kiska" gave the password and this popped up

Domain=[NUS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.2.11-0.30.fc10]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

hope this proves to be an insight

chitambira · 06-04-2009, 05:23 AM

its denied because you are trying to connect as a windows user (who is not added as a samba user)
i think you need to study more about samba, otherwise your aproach will not make you understand the bigger picture.
You didnt answer all my questions though

Quote:

net use M: \\192.169.x.x\businesses /user:NUS\Admin

in windows command prompt ???

no the smbclient... was all in the linux box.

in cmd I typed "net view \\kiska" that didnt bring up anything

Quote:

net use M: \\192.169.x.x\businesses /user:NUS\Admin

that code in cmd didnt work either. it said "no network name found"

I also tried in cmd "net view \\192.168.10" its response to that is "access denied"

ha ha!

I realized I needed to put "users = Admin" under the [businesses] section. now your mount drive command worked. is there any way to make the computer visible on my network places though. The people I work for like to have it simple and I don't want to have to mount the drive on every single computer
