Well, I recompiled my kernel with SMB support (and made sure my boot partition was mounted BEFORE replacing the kernel file), and there's been no difference in behaviour. I've double checked and allowed the EVERYONE group on the Win2K box Modify access to the share in question. I've restored my smb.conf file to it's previous configuration, and tweaked it to set the security=user (as suggested by Kevin). Restarted the Samba services and tried the smbclient -L peon....
here's the output from that: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sgrover $ smbclient -L peon added interface ip=192.168.0.15 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 192.168.0.20 ( 192.168.0.20 ) Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE and, specifically indicating the user: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sgrover $ smbclient -L peon -U sgrover added interface ip=192.168.0.15 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 192.168.0.20 ( 192.168.0.20 ) Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE Sighs, no luck, but not really critical either. Brian's efforts with backup today inspired me to try and rsync my server's config/data files to the win2k box (storing them on a different hard drive). I would need read/write permission to a shared folder to make this happen via Samba... but now this is going to eat at me... I'll post any resolution to the problem, if I find any... Thanks for the help Kevin. Shawn -----Original Message----- From: Shawn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 10:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: (clug-talk) Samba Help? Further reading leads me to believe that I need SMB support compiled into my kernel. It's recompiling now, I should know in the next hour or so... I'll post back to the list with the results. Shawn -----Original Message----- From: Shawn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 10:15 PM To: CLUG (E-mail) Subject: (clug-talk) Samba Help? Hi all. I have Samba 2.2.8 setup on my server, and it is serving as my domain controller. It works great in that I can connect to shares on the Linux server from my windows pc. But.... Today, I have the need to reverse the connection - connect to a windows share from the linux server. This is failing miserably. I've browsed the web and made various tweaks to my smb.conf file, but still no luck... Here's the Globals section of my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = O2S netbios name = SNOW server string = Server Snow security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = snow log level = 1 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 domain admin group = @sysadmin add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false %u logon script = login.cmd logon drive = h: domain logons = Yes os level = 64 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes dns proxy = No admin users = @sysadmin root sgrover I'm trying to hook up a share on a Win2k box, where I have both a local and network user account, both with the same username (sgrover), and password. This name has been set via smbpasswd, and also matches my shell account. Here's some sample output: Try 1: snow root # smbclient -L peon -U sgrover added interface ip=192.168.0.15 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 192.168.0.20 ( 192.168.0.20 ) Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE Try 2: snow root # smbmount //peon/backup /root/peon -o credentials=//root/smb/cred.txt INFO: Debug class all level = 1 (pid 2458 from pid 2458) 2458: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed Try 3: snow root # mount -t smbfs //peon/backup /root/peon INFO: Debug class all level = 1 (pid 2467 from pid 2467) Password: 2467: session setup failed: ERRDOS - 2215 SMB connection failed A search of my logs shows that it can't find a login server (only for these tests, otherwise, there's no errors....). I'm thinking the bug is in my smb.conf file, but can't really see anything that looks right. Any guru's see anything glaring? Thanks in advance for any tips. Shawn
