what is this error mes mean ?
Hi folks i just got RH9 a week ago, but for the last couples days i am still having problem getting windows to the the shares on the linux box, i already reinstall linux 3 times
I can see the share from linux natilus, I am having problem to get win2K to the the share, my win2k can see the linux box on the network but when i click on the linux host, i got linux is not accessable and the network path not found" i have check lot of doc and tip on how to SAMBA, but the dang thang still wouldnt work. the only error i got is when i try to "smbclient -L localhost" on the linux box, i got session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON FAILURES I have check the smb.conf and it look ok [programs] comment = share programs path = /programs valid users = johnny public = no writeable = yes create mask = 0765 -all my 2 daemons are running -I can access the shares from linux box from nautilus and command line from the linux box itself -the share is there, the user is added, -i have the linux box sharing the internet through the cable modem, and accessing winXP shares, so i know my LAN is functioning OK -the only error i get is when i run "smbclient -L localhost" I am thinking of get rid of windows, but dang this linux stuff is not easy Any helps would greatly appreciate |
Do you use encrypted passwords? What does "grep -i crypt /etc/samba/smb.conf" say?
( Tip : for Samba configuration try "swat - Samba Web Administration Tool". Use the URL : "http://localhost:901/" with a browser on the Linux box (or <IP adress of your Linux box>:901" on a Windows machine). ) |
Have you got any firewall rules that may be causing a problem?

Hi all
I have a similair problem. I have just installed RHL 8. I have configured my Smb.conf file. I have restarted the services.I have created a share On my Win2K server in the network neighborhood I see a new entry----Localhost. If the documentation is correct then I should be getting a description saying--- Samba Server. When doubleclicking on local host I get the following error message from my W2k server. Localhost already in use I have tried for 2 days to fix this problem. PLEASE HELP. I think I might just give it all up and go back to M$..:( Thanks |
Kennie :
I can reproduce your problem and I can also fix it by turning off the 'encrypt passwords' option in the "/etc/samba/smb.conf" file. Look below : $ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf |grep -i enc encrypt passwords = Yes $ smbclient -L localhost added interface ip=10.0.0.4 bcast=10.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE <here I remove the 'encrypt passwords = Yes' line for the smb.conf file> $ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf |grep -i enc <nothing shows up, because I removed that line> $ smbclient -L localhost added interface ip=10.0.0.4 bcast=10.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 Password: Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.7a] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- samba Disk anonymous Disk IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server) ADMIN$ Disk IPC Service (Samba Server) Server Comment --------- ------- ANONYMOUS Samba Server Workgroup Master --------- ------- MYGROUP ANONYMOUS |
Inky :
Post the contents of your "/etc/samba/smb.conf" please. |
Hi cropcircle
I think I got it to work..except the new error message I get from win2k is : The account is not authorized to log in from this staition Does this mean I must create a user first ...somewhere thx..ps will send conf file....missus is calling me to eat lol |
Inky : try "smbadduser".

Hi cropcircle
Got smbadduser to work...I also learnt how to add users. But to no avail. I am still getting the same error message from win2k. Here is my smb.conf file...Dont laugh # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed # here.

CROPCIRCLE,
You are the MAN, evrything is working now. THANKS I noticed that, when i delete the line in the smbconf file, i restarted the 2 daemons, but it wont work right away from windows, just give it a few mins, WOOOHOOO, i can see my linux shares now thanks |
thanks cropcircle....got SAMBA running!!!!!!
|
Glad to be of help...
|
Now the big question.....
How do I get to browse Window shares from Linux hmmm :confused: |
With KDE you can use 'Lisa' in combination with Konqueror.
"su -" <root password> "service lisa start" KDE - Config tool -> Internet & network -> Lisa KDE - Config tool -> Internet & network -> ReLisa I believe this tool is a bit buggy in Red Hat Linux 9, but just try it. I used it once on Red Hat 7.3. Here are some discussions about it : http://www.progsoc.uts.edu.au/lists/.../msg00518.html http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...002/10/2/32348 You can also try this tool : http://www.bnro.de/~schmidjo/index.html |
Thanks cropcircle...
I will try it tonight and tell you about it when I get it to work or not. A freind of mine gave me Suise 8.1. I really want to try it out, but have to discipline myself----I got to get Redhat running like my windows boxes first!!!! I will persevere (with a little help from aliens that land in crop fields:cry: ) Thanks once again |
