No dice:
[esisler at shaun esisler]$ smbclient //ghost/c$ -U Administrator -W shaun
added interface ip=198.243.2.206 bcast=198.243.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 198.243.2.200 ( 198.243.2.146 )
Password:
Domain=[RAT_GROUP] OS=[Windows NT 4.0] Server=[NT LAN Manager 4.0]
tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
I've used "shaun" as the local machine name since it's the Linux server I'm
ssh'ed into. If I put in an incorrect password I get a different error
message:
[esisler at shaun esisler]$ smbclient //ghost/c$ -U Administrator -W shaun
added interface ip=198.243.2.206 bcast=198.243.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 198.243.2.200 ( 198.243.2.146 )
Password: *****WRONG PASSWORD TYPED HERE*****
session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
which would indicate at least the authentication part is happening. If I
leave the password blank I get a slightly different error message:
[esisler at shaun esisler]$ smbclient //ghost/c$ -U Administrator -W shaun
added interface ip=198.243.2.206 bcast=198.243.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 198.243.2.200 ( 198.243.2.146 )
Password:
Anonymous login successful

tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
I even tried it by logging into the Linux box as "Administrator":
[Administrator at shaun Administrator]$ smbclient //ghost/c$ -W shaun
added interface ip=198.243.2.206 bcast=198.243.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 198.243.2.200 ( 198.243.2.146 )

tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
"Administrator" is mapped to "ntwsadm" in /etc/smbusers, but I get the same
result when I try the "ntwsadm" account.
In each case except the wrong password one I get the "tree connect failed"
message. I can't even connect from one NT workstation to another's C$
share. In fact, "net view \\ghost" doesn't even list the "default" shares
of C$ and D$, although smbclient does. Is there something strange about
the default shares that only work if there's a real NT PDC on the network?
