I am attempting to share an HP-UX 10.20 drive with Windows 95 machines and
have performed the following steps. Unfortunately, it doesn't work!! Can
you please advise?
1. Configured smb.conf on HP-UX 10.20 (Catwoman) as follows:
[global]
# pcguest has a null password at present
guest account = pcguest
log file = /usr/samba/samba_log.%m
share modes = yes
[public]
comment = Public Stuff
# Temporary use samba whilst testing
path = /opt/samba
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
create mode = 0750
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /tmp
read only = no
public = yes
[ceressys]
comment = var/opt/netware/data/ceressys mapped as T
path = /var/opt/netware/data/ceressys
public = no
writable = yes
[ceres]
comment = ceressys/ceres mapped as S
path = /ceressys/ceres
public = no
writable = yes
[transfer]
comment = var/opt/netware/data/ceressys/transfer mapped as I
path = /var/opt/netware/data/ceressys/transfer
public = no
writable = yes
2. Validated smb.conf file with testparm.
3. Restarted smbd and nmbd processes.
4. Created Windows 95 registry DWORD setting EnablePlainTextPassword on
CLIENT machine with value 0x01 under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP\
4. Rebooted CLIENT machine.
5. Attempted to access Catwoman
Clicking on:
Windows Explorer -> Network Neighbourhood -> Entire Network ->
Workgroup -> Catwoman
Results in the Message Box:
You must supply a password to make this connection
Resource: \\CATWOMAN\IPC$
Password:
Entered Catwoman root password: FAILED
Entered Catwoman pcguest password (null): FAILED
Entered CLIENT machine password: FAILED
6. There is no problem with sharing a Windows95 drive with HP-UX 10.20
(Catwoman).
Can anybody help??
