Re: Samba: password for mapping network drives

["James D. Freels" <fea@fea.rrd.ornl.gov>]

Brian:

I had similar problems for a long time and was able to fix the problem
by specifying on the smbclient line user name, password, and workgroup
from which the password server is serving.  For example, to mount W95
drives onto the Linux machine I give

smbclient \\\\machine_id\\service -U uid%passwd -W workgroup

On the W95 side, to "mount" a Linux drive onto the W95 machine
you must issue the mount command (see DOS or W95 docs if you can find
any).  The entry is controlled by the settings in the /etc/smb.conf
file on the Linux machine.  Below is a modified (for security) version
of my /etc/smb.conf file (comments welcomed from other samba users as
smb.conf is tricky)

[global]
   announce as = Win95
   client code page = 437
   domain logons = no
   hide dot files = no
   local master = no
   security = USER
   wins server = iii.kkk.lll.mmm
   wins proxy = no
   wins support = no
   printing = bsd
   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   load printers = yes
   guest account = nobody
   invalid users = root
   hosts allow = iii.kkk.lll localhost
   hosts equiv = /etc/hosts.equiv
   log file = /dev/null
   max log size = 10
   debuglevel = 0
   workgroup = workgroup
   preferred master = no
   os level = 0
   server string = Samba %v running Linux on %h
   browseable = yes
[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   path = /home/%u
   public = no
   writable = yes
   create mode = 0700
[cdrom]
   comment = NEC Multispon 4X cd-rom
   path = /mnt/cdrom
   public = yes
   writable = no
   create mode = 0700
[printers]
   comment = all printers
   path = /tmp
   print command = lpr -h -r -P%p %s
   postscript = no
   printable = yes
   public = yes
