Samba login not working after migration
I'm maintaining a linux server. The server died last weekend and I'm trying to rebuild it. It was an ubuntu server 14.04 and the new one is 16.04. Everything is working except for samba login.
All Clients are Windows 10 Professional. The Clients can access their shares via ip (\\192.168.1.50\username is accessible) and mount network folders (all via ip) but when loging in the process always fails and the client is logged in on a temporary profile. User authentication seems to work since everyone can only access his own share. My smb.conf looks like the following (I left out the shares since they work): Code:
[global] |
I don't do Samba, but generic advice is to start looking at logs and google for errors found.

There are various ways to setup samba authentication, like winbind, joining an AD domain, etc. I do the simple way on my small network, setup a linux user account with a password that matches the desired windows username & password, then use smbpasswd to add the user to samba's local authentication database.
I don't do winbind or domain membership, can't help there. Verify nmb service is running. Follow Emerson's advice and check logs for messages that will help you identify the source of the problem. |
