Allright, I have to say I'm a bit disappointed nobody thought to point this out from the cifs team. Maybe it has been buried somewhere, but I've yet to see it. ANYWAYS, if fixed my vista issue. It turns out by default, vista uses NTLMv2 authentication only. I had a feeling the authentication was the issue since it always complained about the password, even though it was just fine with XP. Anyways, thank you to the fine gentlemen Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols. He figured out this had issues with older versions of Samba, and on a hunch, I tried it with native cifs.
Here's what you need to do to get it to work: Click "Start -> Run." Then, type in the Run field: "secpol.msc." That will bring you to Vista's security policy system. Once there, use "Go to: Local Policies > Security Options" and then find "Network Security: LAN Manager" authentication level. Once there, change the Setting from "Send NTLMv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM -- use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated." Here's the URL I stumbled upon to figure this out: http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS4434907782.html This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
