Brian: I had similar problems for a long time and was able to fix the problem by specifying on the smbclient line user name, password, and workgroup from which the password server is serving. For example, to mount W95 drives onto the Linux machine I give
smbclient \\\\machine_id\\service -U uid%passwd -W workgroup On the W95 side, to "mount" a Linux drive onto the W95 machine you must issue the mount command (see DOS or W95 docs if you can find any). The entry is controlled by the settings in the /etc/smb.conf file on the Linux machine. Below is a modified (for security) version of my /etc/smb.conf file (comments welcomed from other samba users as smb.conf is tricky) [global] announce as = Win95 client code page = 437 domain logons = no hide dot files = no local master = no security = USER wins server = iii.kkk.lll.mmm wins proxy = no wins support = no printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes guest account = nobody invalid users = root hosts allow = iii.kkk.lll localhost hosts equiv = /etc/hosts.equiv log file = /dev/null max log size = 10 debuglevel = 0 workgroup = workgroup preferred master = no os level = 0 server string = Samba %v running Linux on %h browseable = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /home/%u public = no writable = yes create mode = 0700 [cdrom] comment = NEC Multispon 4X cd-rom path = /mnt/cdrom public = yes writable = no create mode = 0700 [printers] comment = all printers path = /tmp print command = lpr -h -r -P%p %s postscript = no printable = yes public = yes -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ |James D.
