Help Please

[Yanan Yin]

Dear Samba Development Team members,

I tried to install Samba 2.0.7-ja-2.2 on a Sun solaris OS5.5 machine. Once 
installed and started, I could not access the Solaris machine from Win98.

Could you please give us some hint about what could be the possible cause 
for such problem?

Here is what I did:

1) Compile with gcc using the following option

./configure --with-i18n-swat

2) Install samba according to the instructions given by

http://www.samba.gr.jp/doc/tech/samba_inst.html

make install

mkdir /usr/local/samba/var/locks
chmod 755 /usr/local/samba/var/locks
touch /usr/local/samba/var/locks/STATUS..LCK

vi /etc/services   (backup in services.010518)
to add lines:
netbios-ns    137/udp
netbios-ssn   139/tcp
swat          901/tcp

vi /etc/inetd.conf (backup in inetd.conf.010518)
to add lines:
netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait     root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd
netbios-ns  dgram  udp wait       root /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd
swat        stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat 
swat

smdb has following optional variables
-l/var/adm/smblogs/log -s/usr/local/samba/smb.conf

nmbd and swat has the following:
-l/var/adm/smblogs/log

kill -HUP `ps -ef | grep inetd | grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'`

3) I set up my configuration file using the smb.conf.default inside the 
example directory of the distribution package as shown in the attched.

4) Try open the Solaris machine from Win98 and got the following error:

[2001/05/18 18:18:18, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(927)
   Rejecting user 'iwbc': authentication failed
[2001/05/18 18:18:19, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(927)
   Rejecting user 'iwbc': authentication failed
[2001/05/18 18:18:36, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(927)
   Rejecting user 'iwbc': authentication failed
[2001/05/18 18:18:36, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(927)
   Rejecting user 'iwbc': authentication failed


5) By debuggin the source in smbd, it turned out that the password is empty 
as shown below which is the first and the biggest problem. Also, I was told 
that the password given by Win98 to Samba should be an encrypted password. 
But it seems Samba does not think so.

[2001/05/18 20:04:15, 1] passdb/pass_check.c:pass_check(770)
   debug: return anyway: checking user=[iwbc] pass=[]
[2001/05/18 20:04:15, 1] passdb/pass_check.c:pass_check(770)
   debug: return anyway: checking user=[iwbc] pass=[]
[2001/05/18 20:04:15, 1] passdb/pass_check.c:pass_check(770)
   debug: return anyway: checking user=[iwbc] pass=[]

This statement was added for debugging purpose inside the said file.


The configuration file was checked using testparm and no error was found.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Yanan Yin
