FW: Accessing NT shared directory from win98 - Samba

[Roy Thomas]

Hi 

Thanks a lot for the points suggested.
I tried the procedure given by you. but i still get the problem.....

Following is my Setup........
Logon Server - PDC- (Linux/Samba Domain - Hostname MYPDC)
1 NT wkstn and 1 Win98 wkstn connected to this....
User1 logons to NT wkstn, User2 logons to win98 wkstn...
But from win98 wkstn when User2 tries to access the share on WinNT wkstn
on which he has been given permission...he gets an error 'User account expired '

I checked the smbstatus which gives the correct user logged on to win98 PC
but when i checked the login failure Audit(event viewer) on winNT PC it says login failure 
User:NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM instead of the right username( MYPDC/User2).....

hope i was clear in explaining my problem....
please let me know what could be the problem

Regards
Roy

Hi Roy,
Some more information needed:
If I read you right,  you are trying to access a share on an NT workstation
from a win98 pc.  You mention they are both in the SAMBA domain - does this
mean to you that the win98 pc is set up to login to the samba domain, and
the NT Workstation actually has a machine account on the Samba PDC for the
domain?  If this IS the case, do the following test:
have the win98 pc that is having the problem attach to a share on the SAMBA
server that is the pdc for the domain. use smbstatus to verify that the
win98 pc is actually attaching AS the user you expect, and not as some guest
user.
Then, go into user manager gui on the NT workstation, and click on
'policies', 'audit', and 
check 'audit these events' and check success and failure for "Logon and
Logoff".
Then try accessing the share again from the pc.  Once you have failed, use
event viewer gui on the Nt workstation, and view the audit log, to see WHO
you tried to log in as, and what failed.  It's possible that the user you
find mentioned in this audit log is a 'local' user (see user manager again)
and that machine has a password expiration for that user, or all users in
general...

Just some things to try,
Hope they help,
Don

Hi all

I am facing problems when a workstation with win98 is accessing a
shared folder from WinNT workstation on Samba Domain. It gives me following
error 
message " \\dir not accessible The User account has expired "
Would be great if someone could guide me on this.

Thanks
Roy
