Help: The Account is not authorized to login from this statio n (e rror when logging to samba)

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hi Pedro,
log level 3 doesn't give me enough to go on, but I SUSPECT it is 
because you have encrypt passwords = yes NOT in the global section
but in the share section... Assuming that you have actually set up
your username in /etc/passwd and added the user to smbpasswd file 
with the smbpasswd program, as you imply you have.
The default is NO, which would give you this error from an NT workstation
with SP6, because it would fail to negotiate a session with the server
because
it would want encrypted passwords and the samba server (without encrypt
passwords=yes
in the global section of smb.conf) would reply that it was not capable of
it.

Hope this helps,
Don

(e rror when logging to samba)


Hi, when I try to login thru samba from my NT workstation (4.0 pack 6), I
get this error:

"The Account is not authorized to login from this station"

I am running smbd and nmbd in a Solaris 2.6 box. Passwords are set up and
here is the lib/smb.conf:

[global]
        workgroup = WORKGROUP
        hosts allow = 64.241.153. 127.
        log level = 3
[checo]
        comment = For editing/viewing files in checo:~pedro/.
        path = ~pedro/
        read only = no
        guest ok = yes
        encrypt passwords = yes
        maxconnections = 30  

I am trying to login from 64.241.153.4 which is configured to belong to the
WORKSTATION group.

Here is part of the log for smb.log:


[2001/03/23 15:12:10, 2] samba-2.0.7/source/lib/access.c:check_access(258)

Forgive me if I am asking a question that has been asked before, but I was
not able to search the archives.

Thanks for your help.
