I have installed and configured Samba 3.0.10 onto a Fedora Core 3 system and have setup a share. I tried connecting to the share from a Windows system via the net use and Map Network drive GUI. In both cases I was confronted with a password incorrect error message. I had used a domain password as well as a local password to the machine in question. Neither worked. Any ideas? Thanks.

Did you run smbpasswd for the user you are logging in as?

Does you /etc/samba/smb.conf file have this as its share definition:

[shared]
path = /mnt/win/shared
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
create mode = 0666
directory mode = 0777
browseable = yes
public = yes

?

My 3.0.10 samba installation on Rh9 has this as the definition and users on my LAN have no problem connecting "passwordlessly" to the given directory, with no problems. My complete /etc/samba/smb.conf:

netbios name = stefan
workgroup = GOEDEHOOP10
security = share
log file = /var/log/samba.log
log level = 1
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=16384 SO_SNDBUF=16384
wins support = yes
domain logons = no
logon drive = f:
logon home = \\stefan\%U
os level = 99
preferred master = yes
local master = yes
hosts allow = 196.254.255.10 196.254.255.11 196.254.255.20 196.254.255.30 127.0.0.1 196.254.255.40 196.254.255.50 196.254.255.60
encrypt passwords = yes
browseable = yes
lanman auth = yes
lm announce = yes

[shared]

Thanks -- That seems to have done it.
