I have had problems with Samba since the Debian upgraded samba to 3.0.23c, the
problem I had was that smbd refused to start. After reinstalling samba I
found the problem lay in the smb.conf the new install would start, but if I
used my old smb.conf (from my previous version of samba) it would not start
smbd.
So the point is now, samba is running I have added my shares to smb.conf, when
I try to connect to one of the shares from a windows box I get a login window
but it refuse any username and password.
All my users have an account on the linux box, this was how it was set up in
the past without a problem.
For the record I am running Debian testing, samba 3.0.23c (from debian), My
windows boxes are XP Home and Pro and 2000
Below is my smb.conf (short version), can anybody offer any suggestions please
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.1.74 (192.168.1.74)
# Date: 2006/09/24 09:47:46
