Suse 11 samba changes and lanman

I guys,
Whats changed in the new version of samba?
I have an msclient boot disk to pull ghost images from the server. Since upgrading to 11 from 10.3 the msclient no longer connects. I get access denied all the time with incorrect password. Win 2k connects fine but the earlier dos client will not.
My research today come up with ntlmv2 authentication? and the new version has up’t the access requirements, I think i’m an the right track.

Are there any settings I can use to switch this off so that the msclient can connect?

As root, add to your /etc/samba/smb.conf,global section, the parameter
lanman auth = yes. This was the default, but I believe the default was
changed to no. To verify this execute: testparm -v /etc/samba/smb.conf.
This gives the value of all the parameters, including defaults ( I think
you need to su to root first)

P. V.

For suse 11 I get:
john@suse110:~> testparm -v | grep lanman
lanman auth = No
client lanman auth = No
john@suse110:~>

For suse 10.3 I get:
john@suse103:~> testparm -v | grep lanman
lanman auth = Yes
client lanman auth = Yes
john@suse103:~>

Thanks for the heads up Zorrander

Thanks PV and swerdna, with both settings works a treat…

There’s still so much to learn. I have never used the -v option before (I have never needed to).

Indeed it works! Now I don’t have to go tearing hair to see WTF changed
from 10.2/3 -> 11.0 - that one tip fixed all 6 machines here. That little
goodie needs to be at the top of swerdna’s excellent how-to!

This was a decision by the Samba team, not Suse. I think it was with
3.0.30, but maybe not until 3.2.0.
