Hi all, I have a problem with using smbclient, my current setup as follows:
- Linux 9 login/password: excalibur & xxx Windows 2000 login/password: MYDOMAIN\darrenk & yyy - Linux smb service - did not change anything in smb.conf except to make it use plain passwords: ; encrypt passwords = yes ; smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd - Windows 2000 - apply plain password registry fix I can successfully access Linux folders from Windows 2000: - Start - Run - \\222.76.129.238 - Type in Linux login name/password at Windows prompt: excalibur/xxx - Successfully get access to Linux folder If I wanted other Windows users to share the Linux login of "excalibur", I thought this would do it: smbaddusers excalibur:newuser I was then prompted for a new password which I entered zzz. The command was successful and there is now an entry in smbusers and also smbpasswd: excalibur = newuser However when trying to access Linux from Windows, I still cannot get in ... tried the following combinations: 1. newuser + zzz - no 2. newuser + <excalibur's password> - no 3. excalibur + zzz - no 4. excalibur + <excalibur's password> - YES I was expecting that this "newuser" will be treated as a normal Windows user, authenticated with the password "zzz" and then mapped to "excalibur" on Linux, is this assumption correct? What else am I doing wrong? Thanks very much, Excalibur _____________________________________________________________ Free email, web pages, news, entertainment, weather and MORE!
