I have sort of an odd problem that I'm hoping someone can shed a light on.
I brought up a brand new Fedora Core 4 box using the default
installation of Samba. The only change I made to smb.conf was to turn on
encrypting passwords, and then did an smbpasswd -a for my user account
and set a password.
Using Windows XP, or OS X 10.3.9, I can connect to smb://server and be
asked to authenticate, and then get a list of shares.
With 10.4.6 (I tried several machines) when trying to connect to
smb://server rather than giving me a list of shares or trying to get me
to authenticate, the progress bar on the connect to server dialog
"shimmers" basically forever.
Using 10.4.6 I can connect to specific shares using smb://server/share
without any problem. It only sits there when I do not specify a share.
Using the same 10.4.6 machine, I can connect to a machine running
Win2003 server just fine using smb://server.
So basically this problem only exists when I use Tiger to connect to a
Samba server.
Has anyone heard about this? Any ideas?
Fedora Core 4 comes with Samba 3.0.14 (or 14a) if I am not mistaken.
There was a change in that particular Samba version that created "show
stopper" issues connecting and authenticating from OS X Tiger versions.
The issues were resolved with Samba 3.0.20. I suggest that you upgrade
to Samba 3.0.22 or go backwards to 3.0.13 if you can find an rpm.
Personally, I still find 3.0.13 to be the most stable and trouble-free
of all of the Samba versions I have used with OS X.
Hope that helps.
