Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: samba
I recently upgraded an Ubuntu workstation from Gutsy to Jaunty. It was acting
as the printer server, and had some Samba shares exposed. A Windows ME
computer on the same network had a batch file in the "Startup" folder of the
Start Menu that reset the time from this workstation and mapped a share (as
well as some shares from a Debian Etch workstation). The Windows ME
workstation is also configured to print to a Samba-shared printer on the Ubuntu
workstation. Since upgrading, the batch-file gives an error-message trying to
get the time; prompts for the password on the share, and doesn't accept the
user's password; and opening the printer in "Start → Printers..." brings up a
password box, and the user's password is not accepted.
C:>net time \\ubuntu_server
gives the error-message
Error 5: You do not currently have access to this file. The file may be
marked read-only, or it may be part of a shared resource such as a folder, a
named pipe, a queue, or a semaphore. You can use the ATTRIB command to change
the read-only attribute, or try again later when the file may be available.
C:>net use o: \\grendel\opt
causes a password-prompt, and even after entering the correct password
(`smbpasswd` and `passwd` were both used to set the same password for
this user) it gives the same error-message:
The password is invalid for \\GRENDEL\OPT. For more information, contact your
network administrator.
Type the password for \\GRENDEL\OPT:*****
Error 5: You do not currently have access to this file. The file may be
marked read-only, or it may be part of a shared resource such as a folder, a
named pipe, a queue, or a semaphore. You can use the ATTRIB command to change
the read-only attribute, or try again later when the file may be available.
Browsing to the printer in "Start → Printers..." brings up a dialog with the
title "Enter Network Password", message "You must supply a password to make
this connection:".
This batch-file used to work fine, against Ubuntu G. "NET TIME" and
"NET USE" work from Windows ME against the Debian Etch workstation I
mentioned. My workaround for now is to do "NET TIME" against Debian
rather than Ubuntu and not mount the "OPT" share. I'll probably either
move the printer or re-export it from the Debian Etch workstation.
