My question deals with a current setup of two MDK 9.0 clients and one MDK 9.0 server running DHCP and Samba with winbind. The network is a mixture of Windows clients (presently Win 98 SE and Win 2K) and MDK 9 clients, all DHCP clients. The server is setup to be Master as well as Local Browser and provides WINS support to the Win clients. I have had some permissions problems in getting clients to be able to have write access to public and secured shares, but I have finalled got that resolved (I think!)
In one of the two MDK clients, my certification file for 'public' contains the variable "%" for username and this works fine with my own password. The other box is virtually identical in setup (hosts, resolv.conf, hosts-allow, hosts-deny, etc.) and refuses to connect and mount 'public' without my actual username present. Network info was updated through 'netconf' on both and appear identical. All mounts were created using MCC | Mount Points | Samba mount points. I did try to using the "%" for password as well, but obviously this is not a generic variable. I cannot find any reference to the variable used for 'password' that would pass on the correct value for whomever happens to be logged in when the shares are accessed. Is there one? Can anyone explain why one MDK box cannot utilize the "%" variable while the other can? TIA T
