Server: RH 7.1, with Samba built from a RH 7.2 SRPM Version 2.2.1a: Client: Win2k
I created user accounts both samba and unix. I created machine accounts in /etc/passwd and /etc/samba/smbpasswd. The machine I am trying this from is in /etc/hosts. I have successfully logged in from a win9X client. (different machine) But I cannot seem to get this to work from Win2K. When I attempt to connect I get a <something like> invalid user name or password error. So I checked my samba logs, and found: (removed date and time from logs for brevity) ##################### [date&time, 0] passdb/smbpass.c:startsmbfilepwent_internal(87) startsmbfilepwent_internal: unable to open file /etc/samba/smbpasswd. Error was Permission denied [d&t, 0] passdb/smbpass.c:iterate_getsmbpwuid(1240) unable to open smb password database. [d&t, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(448) Closing connections [d&t, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(448) Closing connections ##################### I checked the perms on /etc/samba/smbpasswd and just to see if it would help, I noted the existing perms and changed the file to 777. However, samba simply set the permissions back to '-rw' for root only, and spit the same message again. I have confirmed that the passwords are all the same from smbpassword and /etc/password, read s#!tloads or samba.org docs and so on, but have had no luck as yet. So, if anyone out there has successfully implemented samba and win2k hosts out there, (which according to what I have read is possible) please shed some light on where I've gone wrong here. I'm stumped. -- Linux SxS [http://hal.humberc.on.ca/~mrcn0031/sxs/] _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
