RE: [PLUG] SAMBA and windoze boxes...
|
IPC -- interprocess communications (i think) -- the first communication
between 2 samba/windows machines is through the ipc -- it gives the listings
of the shares.
as root try this -- smbpasswd -a <username>
enter the samba password you wish to use twice. This will add the username
to those allowed to logon via samba (if for some reason it is not already).
make sure that in the smb.conf file this line appears
username map = /usr/local/samba/private/smbusers
In the smbusers / username.map (as has been suggested by other users, but,
smbusers is the default) make sure that you have lines like this
<unix user> = <other user1> <other user2>
like in my previous example
In my case, the username map is in /use/local/samba/private and called
smbusers. Your's may be elsewhere. Also, turn on all logging by using
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
this will create a log file in /urs/local/samba/var called log.<windows
netbios machine name>.
The log will give you a bit more information about who the samba machine is
trying to login.
Make sure in your username.map or smbusers file you don't have any "*"'s
lying around (that's a star). This will try to map all users to this user.
But, since you say that the mac is working, you may wish to double check the
settings on the PC.
Make sure that it has Netbios and TCP/IP loaded and also Client for
Microsoft Networks. Set the workgroup to whatever is set up for you. If
you need help, give me a call, i do this all the time for my school (ursinus
college). E-mail me directly for my number.
Oh, wait, i almost forgot, you need to use the same username and password as
on the linux machine. When that password box comes up, enter your unix
password (or your samba password, if you set it) and go from there.
If this makes no sence, e-mail me and i'll try to straighten it out

Subject: Re: [PLUG] SAMBA and windoze boxes...
Still no luck. I tried using both a username.map file, as well as
login into the windoze machine with my username in the LINUX box, and
nothing.
The funny thing is that I get something like:
Enter password for resource \\BEZERO\IPC$
(BEZERO being the samba server...). What the heck is IPC$? Is this
Bill's idea of a user-friendly environment?
BTW, I'm trying this from a Win98 box, which now is so messed up that
I cannot even see the NetHood. What a nightmare. Why don't we all
decide to use LINUX and Macs? Our productivity would skyrocket...
