From your Linux box try typing "smbclient -L SAMBABOX -U WINDOWSUSER"
Where "Sambabox" is the Netbios name of your Samba machine as specified in the smb.conf. WINDOWSUSER is the name of the USER you logged in as, at your Windows computer. Remember that every time you attempt to connect to the Samba machine from Windows, Windows itself sends the SAME username and password you entered when you first logged in to Samba. This username/password must correspond EXACTLY with the SAMBA (not LINUX) user you created with smbadduser (or with the newer smbpasswd -a WINDOWSUSER ). Linux users ARE NOT Samba users and vice versa... You also might want to change the username/password hashing level in Samba to 8 to avoid character case problems... -JMS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of DStevenson Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 7:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] Samba confused. I have samba set up (or not as the case may be) on mdk8.0, which is a NFS server. On client A, I have dual booting mdk8.0/Win98. When booted in to mdk, I have vmware which has win98 as a virtual machine. The virtual win98 is set up to access the shares on the samba server and print to this as well. All works fine. However, when booted to win98, it cannot acces the samba server as passwords are not accepted. The passwords accross the win98's and mdk's are seamless. Each time I access the shared area on the win98 I get the annoying password box, any password I type is rejected. I have added the key 'enablecleartextpassword' in the registry, although I have not done this on the vmware win98, this did not change anything, so I took the entry out again. (I can ping, telnet and ftp from the Win98 client the NFS server) Does anyone have any idea what is hapening, after an evening of trying I am ?*!!??$�% the system. Please help....TIA Dave.
