You didn't by any chance enable clear text passwords so you could connect to
a previous version of Samba VMS? If so, you need to disable them.

Hi again.
Well, now I think I'm running out of ideas.
Does *anyone* has a Win98 client connecting succesfully
to a Samba 2.2.4 server ?
On a DEC AXP 2000 model 300 ?
What did you had to do after the compile/link/install
phases ?
Is there anything in the SMB.CONF that is mandatory on VMS ?
The things I'v changed are :
- Added/changed the "workgroup" and "netbios name" entries.
- Corrected the "printcap name" entry.
- Changed "null passwords" to "yes".
- Added "dns proxy = no"
- Checked that the guest account ("samba__guest") exists and have
a writeable home directory.
- I have not touched the [homes] or [printers] sections.
- Added a [dist] and a [tmp] share.
When I do "NET VIEW \\my_server, I can see that the SMBD process
working 5-10 sec, then I get some error on the client, such
as "network service unavailable" or something similar.
A few notes,
Is the password the client send to the server case sensitive ?
My PC user is "Janne", but the user in SMBPASSWD.DAT is (when
using DUMP) "janne" in all lowercase. Is this of any importance ?
Anything special that must be loaded in network part of the client ?
I'v tried to add NetBEUI, but saw no change.
There must be something fundamentional wrong here !
This is my SMB.CONF file, I have deleted all commented lines :
[global]
workgroup = OSSBY
netbios name = OSSBY1
dead time = 10
map archive = no
printing = bsd
printcap name = /SYS$SPECIFIC/TCPIP$LPD/TCPIP$PRINTCAP.DAT
load printers = yes
status = yes
print command = print %f/queue=%p/delete/passall/name="""""%s"""""
lprm command = delete/entry=%j
security = user
default service = default
create mode = 0777
null passwords = yes
dns proxy = no
guest account = samba__guest
log level = 0
log file = /samba_log/log.%m
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
share modes = no
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
create mode = 0750
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /dsa1/pcfs_spool/default
browseable = no
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
create mode = 0700
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /dkb300/samba_temp
read only = no
public = yes
user = JANNE
[dist]
path = /dist/000000
public = yes
only guest = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
Best Regards

Hi.
Last evening (well, night) I installed the Samba 2.2.4
source package on a DEC 2000 model 300 (EV4/150Mhz "Jensen")
with VMS 7.3, TCPIP 5.1-3, 128 Mb, DECC V6.2-003.
The compile/link went without any errors (but took > 3h).
I'v a Win98 (not SE or ME) client to test with. Nothing but
the server and this PC on the "net" using a simple 4 port
minihub. TELNET, FTP and so on works just fine.
Checked netmap and broadcast address. They are OK.
I can't "browse" the server. It doesn't shows up in the Windows
Explorer Network tree.
Doing "NET VIEW \\server" gives "Error 86: wrong password..."
After adding "log level = 10" to SMB.CONF this command
gives "Error 54: The network is busy..." and the server
is doing a lot of DIRIO. Is this server too slow for "log
level = 10" ?
I'v tried to add my passwork using SMBPASSWD. No chnage.
There must be some easy steps like "How to verify and test your
new SAMBA VMS installation" somewere.
I'm lost...
A question, is Frontport still needed for 2.2.4 ??
Any thoughts or tips ?
