RE: help! ... doin' the samba

["Andrew McRobert" <mcrobert@central.murdoch.edu.au>]

... that's what's really weird. The log file is for a smbpasswd session on
the Samba box (ie. typing 'smbpasswd' at the terminal).

If I map a network drive in WinNT, and give the same username and password,
it connects to the Samba box just fine!?!?!?

I'm using "mcrobert" as the username on both the NT and Samba box ...

tks
ANdrew

ps. I'm on the samba mailing list, but no-one seems to have an answer to
this there ...

So in the excerpt:
---------------------------
[2000/06/19 12:37:01, 2] smbd/connection.c:utmp_claim(560)
  utmp_claim: conn NULL
[2000/06/19 12:37:01, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(988)
  Username  is invalid on this system
[2000/06/19 12:37:01, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(408)
  Closing connections
-----------------------------
It seems that the username from the win machine is null.
the message says "Username [insert here] is invalid on this system."

what name are you logining in your windows box with? you can change that
name and/or map user names for your samba account.

under global "username map = /etc/samba/users.map"
and in users.map [unix name]  = "my name"

Subject: help! ... doin' the samba


hi, I've had this problem for a while and can't seem to get around it ...

When a normal user tries to change his/her passwd using smbpasswd or SWAT,
they get the following error:

"machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the session setup. Error was : ERRSRV - ERRbadpw
(Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or
Session Setup are invalid.).
Failed to change password for mcrobert"

... but the users are contained in the smbpasswd file & the /etc/passwd
file. What's happenin' here???!!? I'm using a bare bones smb.conf file:
shown below:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from [my machine]
# Date: 2000/06/19 12:43:05

# Global parameters
[global]
	workgroup =
	interfaces = [machine's IP]/22 127.0.0.1
	encrypt passwords = Yes
	debug level = 2
	guest account =

[homes]
	browseable = No

[mcrobert]
	path = /home/mcrobert
	writeable = Yes

[jlange]
	path = /home/temp

... the relevant lines from the /var/log/smb file (at log-level 2) are:

[2000/06/19 12:37:01, 2] param/loadparm.c:do_section(2481)

thanks a lot for any help!!
