Hi all,
after much hair pulling, and ploughing though the samba help file, I
found on the later version of samba entering the a dummy password as
XXXXin the samba smbpasswd dos'nt work.
But using smbpasswd -a <user> <password> into a empty file does.
Still in the position that thw winblows machine can only see this linux
mavchine if the ip address is searched for , and then the workgroup is
unknown, and login is blocked.
according to SWAT smb and nmb are running, and the PID appears if I type
ps -ax.
smbclient on this box is now giving
[EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]# smbclient //firewall/public -U richard
added interface ip=44.131.90.129 bcast=44.131.91.255 nmask=255.255.254.0
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
or
-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]# smbclient -U richard -L localhost
added interface ip=44.131.90.129 bcast=44.131.91.255 nmask=255.255.254.0
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
I still cant find out why the bcast address is in the wrong subnet, it
should be 44.131.90.255 NOT 44.131.91.255
Ive attached the current smb.conf file
TIA
Richard
