Samba Server Authentication
 

Hi all,

I recently installed Redhat 9 to a IBM Netvista workstation and have at least tried to configure it to work as a server. I have installed all the neccessary services for Samba to work against my Windows domain. I able to autheticate against the windows network but when I try to access the linux box from windows, it prompts me to enter credentails but does not seem to authenticate. I know I need to configure either, Pam.d, Kerberos, etc.. Could anyone help me thru it?

Thanks in advance,

Willie

hai,
you need to check
1.are you sure , you have a
encrypt passwords = yes in global options???

2.You must have smbpasswd added for the user, for whom to which you are trying to login from windows.
check it with a ===== smbpasswd -a user1.now try to login from windows.
3.Even though every login credetials are ok,you have another lock. that is
ost allow ==in global settings(ex:hosts allow = 192.168.0. 192.168.2. 127.)If you dont have your Ip range here you will be never allowed.

*****All the best*****
