Initial Samba 2.2.4 problems.

[Michael D. Ober]

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
Jan-Erik Söderholm.

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 ?
