OK…
Need help again from you guys re samba.
Upgraded server to 11.1 and samba again is not working with msclient.
Added and changed but still no luck:
lanman auth = yes
client lanman auth = yes
client plaintext auth = yes
smb encrypt = no
Anybody any ideas?

If this does not help, please post the global section of /etc/samba/smb.conf
and try to give more details on how Samba is failing.

I have turn the firewall off until I can resolve the authentication issue.
Windows NT no problems.
The msclient however, when trying to connect to a share - always reports incorrect password.
All users have been added to the smbpasswd file
I have a spreadsheet with the global parameters from both suse 10 and 11.1 and highlighted the differencies and amended where I think are needed see above.
I have left defaults as is apart from the above

Do you have a windows server (e.g. server 2003/8) in the mix or is it a simple workgroup of mixed windows and Linux workstations in a “workgroup” setting?
Thanks for you quick reply swerdna!
Nope, no nt servers are in the mix, this is just a standard workgroup.
I have just change the prefered master settings and the local master settings to yes and 65. Still no luck.
after ‘net use G: \hls01\ghost’
i get ‘the password is invalid for \hls01\ghost’
‘type the password for \hls01\ghost’
I recommend you shorten the [global] stanza. Perhaps some of the unnecessary parameters, many of which I can’t understand, are set wrongly. I know that the following is optimal for a workgroup, so backup your origiunal smb.conf and edit this in to replace [global]:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = HLS01
name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins
map to guest = Bad User
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
cups options = raw
load printers = yes
use client driver = yes
server string = “”
usershare allow guests = Yes
usershare max shares = 100
usershare owner only = False
After that, redo the Samba password database. (e.g. smbpasswd -a billlycrystal).
Check that the daemons for smb and nmb are set to Enabled=Yes in Yast –> System Services (Runlevel).
Then reboot openSUSE, then reboot windows, then openSUSE, then windows. (Silly but true when you make major changes. Makes them see each other, “across a crowded room” sort of thing).
Sorry swerdna
the global stanza is already short. I gave the complete section including all the defauls. (oops)
In order to track down the offending parameter.
Change one thing at a time!
I first redid the smbpasswd and it now works without having to change anything else! How ODD! that the authentication worked with xp.
[global]
server string = Samba
map to guest = Bad User
lanman auth = Yes
client lanman auth = Yes
client plaintext auth = Yes
printcap name = cups
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
logon path = \%L\profiles.msprofile
logon drive = P:
logon home = \%L%U.9xprofile
os level = 65
preferred master = Yes
domain master = No
usershare allow guests = Yes
cups options = raw
include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
Anyway thanks swerdna, I can now put the box back on the proper network
Sorry… Not out of the woods yet!
After hashing out the below changes and a reboot and then reenabling, needed to rewrite smbpasswd again for each parameter reset. This is not good if I have lots of users.
lanman auth = yes
client lanman auth = yes
#client plaintext auth = yes
server string = Samba
#smb encrypt = no
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
#use client driver = yes
name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts winsWhats samba doing to the smbpasswd file?
I can only suggest that you try the version I put up, except “server string = Samba” is OK too. Here is the recommended form if you’re not sharing a printer and also not allowing Linux users to make shares in Nautilus (which probably you’re not):
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = HLS01
name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins
map to guest = Bad User
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
server string = “Samba”
I suggest to leave out any lanman entries – do you need lanman entries for something out of the ordinary? I very well might have missed something? Do you have win95/98 machines on the LAN?
OK swerdna.
After a bit of research i have found this, i think you will need to make a note of this one…
basically when lanman auth = no samba removes the lanman hashes from the smbpasswd file reenabling means that the passwords are gone and smbpasswd needs to be rewitten for each user which requires lanman access.
The above is indeed true.
