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?

inky 06-29-2003 01:24 PM

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

cropcircle 06-29-2003 02:22 PM

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]

Inky :

Post the contents of your "/etc/samba/smb.conf" please.

inky 06-29-2003 03:01 PM

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

cropcircle 06-29-2003 03:13 PM

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

inky 07-02-2003 04:55 PM

thanks cropcircle....got SAMBA running!!!!!!

cropcircle 07-03-2003 03:16 PM

Glad to be of help...

inky 07-03-2003 05:08 PM

Now the big question.....

How do I get to browse Window shares from Linux

hmmm
:confused:

cropcircle 07-03-2003 05:51 PM

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

inky 07-04-2003 01:28 PM

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
