I am trying to install Samba 2.0.3 on a Linux 2.0.36 system (Slackware 3.6)
As per the documentation, I got to the point were I am instructed to try
smbclient -L localhost
It responds with a password: prompt. No matter what I enter, it
responds with :
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair
in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
This is my smb.conf file
# Global parameters
[global]
log level = 2
interfaces = 192.168.1.5/24
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
smbrun = /usr/sbin/smbrun
dns proxy = yes
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /usr/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
I have also tried smbclient -L localhost -U user with the same
results. Needless to say, Windows 95 clients are also reporting
invalid passwords.
The log file reports...
[1999/04/02 22:39:59, 0] smbd/uid.c:become_gid(105)
Couldn't set effective gid to 100 currently set to (real=0,eff=0)
[1999/04/02 22:39:59, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(425)
Can't become connected user!
[1999/04/02 22:40:00, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(406)
Closing connections
Documentation is leading to nothing but dead ends...
What am I doing wrong?
