Samba: Not asking for password

pickledbeans · 07-01-2002, 01:03 PM

Ok -
Samba box = slacker.homelinux.net (Slackware 8.0 + Samba 2.2.5)
Windowsb box = beans.homelinux.net (WinMe)

The puzzle is slacker doesn't show up in "My Network places"? And
if I search for slacker.homelinux.net it cann't find it even though
I can ping and ssh to it by name?

I can map the samba share either with ip address or alias "slacker" with
\\slacker\home.

And finaly, after mapping it doesn't request my password.

My smb.conf is attached below for your reading and viewing pleasure.

Is it me, or did you forget to attach the smb.conf file?
