Samba Won't Take Passwords
Hi,
For those following the saga, I can now print from linux on the attached
HP Laserjet 5L. I downloaded the latest source code for CUPS, followed
the clear instructions included for compiling and installing it, and
then went to http://localhost:631 and added the printer and whalla! I
can now print from OpenOffice, which was my main goal.
But now, there are two Windows 98 computers attached to this mostly
potato, a little woody box, and I am running smbd, and nmbd. When I go
to "Network Neighborhood" on a Win98 computer I can see the group:
Workgroup, and I can see the linux box named Debian in there. When I
try to access it I get a pop-up box labeled Enter Network Password that
says "You must supply a password to make this connection: Resource:
\\DEBIAN\IPC$ Password: [I can enter stuff here]" and there is a check
box to allow me to "Save this password in your password list" By going
to http://localhost:901 on the debian machine I have set up users and
passwords for each of the attached computers. For instance, one Win98
machine I named "brian" and I have a linux user "brian" and within Samba
I gave "brian" the same password but if you go to the "brian" machine
and enter that password (or any other password I've ever used) then
another pop-up box comes up saying, "The password is incorrect. Try again."
So, I somehow do not understand Samba passwords or what password I
should enter on the client machines to gain access to the linux box.
All I want is for those computers to be able to print on the printer
attached to the linux box. Thanks for any help.
