We have an UltraSparc running an older version of Solaris (not sure what version - I'm not the admin) and running a 3.x version of Samba. We seem to be having two issues with Windows<->Samba connections. We use *plain text passwords* and I have set every reference to enableplaintextpasswords on my desktop to '1'. My account worked twice, on two different occasions.
1. W2K machines will not log in to the Samba server. They give the message "Invalid user name or password". Win98 machines work fine. We have no XP machines. 2. Using smbclient on my RHEL WS 3 laptop works fine. 3. It seems copying files and getting directory listings takes longer than it should: 10 seconds for a directory listing (even a short dir.), more than 30 min. now for me to copy 23MB of files (using my laptop) from my home dir on the Samba server to my local drive. This happens with multiple users and on Win98 as well. It seems the login issue started around the time of some W2K patches a couple months ago, but since I had not been using the Samba server much before that, I can't verify it. I've also had connection issues at home (Samba on RH 9.0), but restarting the Samba services always fixes the problem. Again, this started AFTER a W2K update, and this I have verified (since they are both my machines and I have full control over them). Also, I use encrypted passwords at home as well as LDAP for authentication. Anyone have any ideas? PGA -- Paul G. Allen Software Engineer QUAKE GLobal, Inc.
