I am trying to setup Samba under Linux to serve files for a network of
Windows ME boxes (it's not my fault...). I am doing all this remotely so
I don't have access to any of the machines except for the Linux box via
ssh.
I have done the following:
root at localhost:~# smbclient -L RICHARD -U richard
added interface ip=192.168.1.9 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
PRINTER2 Printer
PRINTER$ Disk
PRINTER Printer
MYDOCUMENTS Disk
IPC$ IPC Remote Inter Process Communication
Server Comment
--------- -------
RICHARD Unknown User
WWW Samba Server
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
BROWN RICHARD
When I enter the password at the prompt it is accepted just fine. But
when I try to connect to the share I get this:
root at localhost:~# smbclient //richard/MYDOCUMENTS -U richard
added interface ip=192.168.1.9 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair
in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
I have tried both encrypted and unencrypted passwords in /etc/smb.conf and
security is set to user.
Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot,
Rob Judd
