Cannot map to a Samba Share, but xp notebook can?

[qu1nn]

Hello,

Problem: Cannot get my pda (HTC Mogul) to connect to a samba share.
Behavior: Resco File Explorer (V7.03) keeps asking for a password when I try to map to a samba share.


Basic Setup Information:
ROUTER: Dynamic Type Configuration acting as a DHCP Server. The DNS is Automagic from the IP.
LAPTOP (windows xp): 192.168.1.38 / 255.255.255.0
SAMBA_PC (Suse 11) : 192.168.1.36 / 255.255.255.0
PDA (Sprint Mogul, Windows Mobile 6 Pro): 192.168.1.37 / 255.255.255.0

-----Below is my current smb.conf---------------
# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the

Additional Questions:
1) when in a linux console and you are pinging a IP, how to you stop the continuous pinging?
2) how do you find the machine name on the PDA similar to how the LINUX-PD = 192.168.1.36?
3) why is the wireless router name showing up when I ping?



I am at a loss.
I will be posting to a Resco forum as well.
Any suggestions helping this newb would be great.

Thank you for your time

I've found that allowing a windows machine to connect to a samba hosted
share needs a few more options set.

Specifically, for each share you wish to be able to browse/use from a
windows machine (without being prompted to log in), you need to add:

guest ok = yes

If you don't, you will need to add each windows machine's username to samba,
and create a password for them as well. This is seperate from the users on
the linux box.

to add a user:
smbpasswd -a USERNAME
{you'll be prompted for a password}

To add a user with a null password:
smbpasswd -a USERNAME -n

To delete a samba user:
smbpasswd -x USERNAME

the smbpasswd man page (man smbpasswd) is your friend.

You must also be aware of the permissions involved with using guest access
for samba shares too. guest access is based on the 'other' permissions
(third triplet), unless you use the 'force group = somegroup' and/or 'force
user = someuser', which cause samba to access the share with that group or
as that user.

For shares needing write access, remember the 'read only = no' and 'write ok
= yes' options, also, the 'force xxx' options (above) are useful for public
shares.

thank you for responding.
I have it setup so that the same username/pass is used.

Is it not ok to have the same username/password regardless if it is a pda or windows xp?

being able to access from xp notebook is no problem, been able to to that since I originally posted.

The pda cannot access the share for some reason that is driving me nuts.


thank you again

whatever username/password you choose is fine, having one user/pass for the
two windows machines is a good idea, since you don't have to remember which
is which.

Can the pda access shares on the XP box? Sometimes that functionality is
limited due to small memory limits in the pda.

I had this all in a prior installation of Suse 10.3
unfortunately I never saved the prior samba configuration.
I bet it is something simple that was changed in the suse 11 install, but I cannot figure what it is.
My guess is that it has something to do with how the pda is responding to the router (see PDA Testing Section)




the pda had no problem accessing files on the linux box.

I am not sharing any files on the laptop.

Thank you for your response.

One thing that changed with Samba 3.2.0 was how it handled lanman authorization.
Add to your /etc/samba/smb.conf the parameter "lanman auth = yes" to the
global section. ( In prior versions that was the default.) A couple of weeks
ago someone with a game box had a similar problem, which this cured. Lanman
is the method of Windows 9X and is probably used on most of these small
devices. Be sure to restart the smpd after you change smb.conf, the command
is "rcsmb restart" . All of this needs to be done as root. If you need to
link to the pda from Linux you should also add the parameter "client lanman
auth = yes"

If making these changes does not help, you should look
in /var/log/samba/log.smbd to see what happens when you try to login. ( You
might need to add the parameter "log level =3" to your smb.conf global section
to get more information in the log; after you get things fixed, remove it so
your logs to grow too large.)

..... there is more but I cut it out.


so I see some errors with the user/password, so I figure that I would add another user called jason2 so,

when doing the following as root:
smbpasswd -a jason2
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Failed to modify password entry for user jason2


so I would guess that something is definately amiss.


any help would be great....

Is Jason2 a valid linux user? The samba users must also be valid Linux users.
Add a user jason2 and try again. However, "jason" should work. What do you
see with "pdbedit -L" (run as root)? Does it show a user jason? If not run
smbpasswd -a jason; if it does try "smbpasswd jason" and reset the password.
Remember linux is case sensitive.

If you look at this:

>[2008/08/24 16:53:08, Â*2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(318)
>check_ntlm_password: Â*Authentication for user [jason] -> [jason]
>FAILED with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD

it looks like you are just not sending the correct password.
