Samba: Windows XP Pro access to Linux box
Hi,
At work we've recently installed a Slackware 10.0 box C with Samba on it. It's connected to the XXX.YYY-domain as a little brother of client A (Windows XP) and server B (Red Hat 9). B acts as a DHCP server for a small private LAN with some Linux clients, a Windows 2000-machine and 2 Windows XP Pro-boxes (of which one is a laptop). I copied the smb.conf of B to C and made some minor changes. I also gave everyone a Unix account and corresponding Samba account (via smbpasswd). Now, the Linux clients and the Windows 2000-box can access their Samba shares (home directories), the Windows XP clients can not. What's confusing:
So, I wonder whether someone has encountered these problems too? Here's the smb.conf (after tweaking our first one with swat): Code:
# Global parameters |
Code:
pam password change = yes Try changing these options to no, or removing the lines. I don't think pam is included in Slack. This may be why your error is occuring. --Shade |
Correct, there is no pam in Slackware.
|
The option you have if you don't want to complicate yourself very much is install dorpline gnome for Slack, it includes the pam package by default (I found that out too late), I don't like pam

Hi,
I did remove those PAM-lines, but that didn't do much. After removing the DENY ALL, client D (a twin of A) and the clients behind B can access server C. I can't test client A currently, but normally it should work now. Thanks for the suggestions, |
Hi,
I've been too optimistic :(. Client A is the only one unable to use Samba correctly. User A's Samba account works, though. We've tried it via a laptop on the same wifi-connection as client A. Both the laptop and client A have the same OS (Windows XP Pro with SP2). So, the problem isn't Slackware-related anymore. Just for the sake of completeness, part of the error log: Code:
NT user token of user S-1-5-21-1153249575-2565324612-427322846-501 Any suggestions? |

Hi,
I am definitely newbie by all definitions but I think the problem might be adding some registry info into Windows: http://www.ccs.uky.edu/docs/samba.htm regards |
Hi,
We already tried the register hacks, to no avail. But, we also did the following 2 things:
Apparently, one of the two did the job, so now we can all samba ;-)! Thanks to everybody for their input, |
