Samba Login Problem
Doug Holtz
I have Red Hat 7.1 running with samba 2.0.7-36 for a small home network. 3
users can log on fine. 1 user can't logon; the log file for his PC states
the passwords don't match for Unix and samba.
I ran passwd and smbpasswd for this user but I still can't get a logon.
Any ideas?

encrypt passwords is set by default. You have to turn this off via the
Registry (regedit). Here are my notes:
You need to set SAMBA to not encrypt passwords and you need to put the
number 1 in the following Windows registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkStation\Param
eters
Add a new DWORD value: Value Name: EnablePlainTextPassword Data: 0x01
I hope this helps!!!

samba.org. The version is 2.2.3a. Many improvements have been made
since the version you use and it may clear things up. I would not set
your clients to not encrypt password, but rather set the 'encrypt
passwords = yes' in the globals section.

Don't use Samba without encrypting your passwords. There's no real excuse
for it, and from a security standpoint it's a really bad idea.
The *only* justifiable reasons to use unencrypted passwords are twofold:
1: You're running WfW 3.11 and you still need shared access by loggin
in, and you don't care about security.
2: You run unencrypted for a very, very short period to allow user's
UNIX passwords to be stored in the Samba password file, then turn it off,
keeping in mind that those passwords have been put in serious peril to
anyone with sufficient access to your local network or Samba server to
sniff.

Somehow my permissions for this user got snarked. In messing around with
linuxconf I got a message box indicating the user's permissions didn't
match; I had the OS fix this and all is well. What a mess.
Thanks again.

to work any other way with my Windows 2000 machine. Unless the new SAMBA
understands Windows 2K encryption, I have to stay as is!
While we are here, does anyone know of a way to share a CD-ROM on SAMBA? If
I put a CD in the drive of one machine while running Redhat 7.2, the entire
machine freezes. I'd like to be able to get to a CD drive on my Windows 2K
machine, Win98 machine, or another Linux machine.
Any ideas?

Just make sure you have a cd in the drive when you set the share access from
other machines. However if you must share a linux CD-ROM then use the the
line 'path = /mnt/cdrom' in the share description.
Example:
[CD-ROM]
Comment = CD-ROM access from Linux server
path = /mnt/cdrom
read only = yes
This will do the trick.
Note: make sure there is a CD in the drive and it the device is mounted or
you will have errors.

don't know if they fixed it yet. Best check before downloading it to find
out. Just a note 2.2 and up works well with Encrypted passwords 2.2.3a fixes
many problems with XP access.

Hey Todd, you sure about this? On their FTP site they only list
2.2.3a under the 7.2 directory. Does it really work with 7.1?

Recompile from the SRPM if it won't.
