Re: Samba

[Alan Wilson <awilson accessus net>]

I don't recall all of the details, but one problem might be that as installed
NT (and win98) require encrypted passwords, but RH Samba as distributed does
not support them.  There are two solutions: edit the registry on the NT
machine to allow non-encrypted passwords or get a newer samba or the
encryption module for samba.

Sorry I don't recall any more details

I got my wife's win95 box back on line, and I can both connect to services
exported by my linux both from it, as well as smbmount it's services from my
linux box. Pretty cool stuff if I may say so.

Still nothing works regarding my NT box and samba. I can successfully export
services to the win95 box, and use the win95 services.

for the win95 box I get the following when listing services
[root pooh smbfs-2.0.1]# smbclient -L slowpoke
Added interface ip=90.0.0.3 bcast=90.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
startlmhosts: Can't open lmhosts file /etc/lmhosts. Error was No such file
or directory

        PRINTER$       Disk

NOTE: There were share names longer than 8 chars.
On older clients these may not be accessible or may give browsing errors

For the  NT box I get this:
[root pooh smbfs-2.0.1]# smbclient -L wildthang
Added interface ip=90.0.0.3 bcast=90.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
startlmhosts: Can't open lmhosts file /etc/lmhosts. Error was No such file
or directory
Session request failed (131,130) with myname=POOH destname=WILDTHANG
Called name not present
Try to connect to another name (instead of WILDTHANG)
You may find the -I option useful for this

Using it's IP does nto help. I have not had any luck finding what "Session
request failed (131,130)" means.

Anyone have enough NT experience to advise me on how to get samba to see
this machine. I suspect it's a security thing or something.

TIA
