Hi! I'm on an NT4 (SP3) box trying to browse or map a drive to a
network share on a RHL 5.0 box running Samba 1.9.17p4 and I keep
getting the error message "The account is not authorized to login
from this station." My password is being typed correctly.
I have a public share that has read-only permission to the public
FTP directory and that works just fine. The NT box is NOT on the
same domain as the Linux box, though access from any NT box on
any domain should be possible.
The Linux box is in the CDWORKS domain, but I don't want user
authentication to come from my PDC. If I create a share that
requires a username and password for access, I want that username
and password to be a valid user account on my Linux box; that
account will not exist on the NT domain.
Here is my /etc/smb.conf file:
;======================= Global Settings =====================================
[global]
; workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: REDHAT4
workgroup = CDWORKS
; comment is the equivalent of the NT Description field
comment = Kevin's Workstation
server string = Kevin's Workstation
; volume = used to emulate a CDRom label (can be set on a per share basis)
volume = Manannan
; Uncomment this if you want a guest account
guest account = nobody
log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m
; Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb)
max log size = 50
; Options for handling file name case sensitivity and / or preservation
; Case Sensitivity breaks many WfW and Win95 apps
; case sensitive = yes
short preserve case = yes
preserve case = yes
; Security and file integrity related options
lock directory = /var/lock/samba
locking = yes
strict locking = yes
; fake oplocks = yes
share modes = yes
; Security modes: USER uses Unix username/passwd, SHARE uses WfW type passwords
; SERVER uses a Windows NT Server to provide authentication services
security = share
; Use password server option only with security = server
; password server = <NT-Server-Name>
;============================ Share Declarations ==============================
; A publicly accessible directory, but read only
[FTP]
comment = Public FTP Directory
path = /home/ftp/pub
public = yes
writable = no
printable = no
[Pieckiel]
comment = Kevin Pieckiel
path = /home/kevin
valid users = kevin
write list = kevin
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
browseable = yes
Ultimately in this test file, I'm trying to allow only me
(username kevin) to access the share "Pieckiel", which points to
my home directory. My Linux box is named manannan and all
networking is correctly configured to the best of my knowledge.
My NT box is named cs and it also correctly configured. I'm
thinking it's just a configuration problem with Samba that I
don't see, or there is some bit of information about Samba and/or
Microsoft Networking that I am missing. Can you help? Thanks!
