My username is different on my Linux box than on my Windows box so I used
the line
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
in my smb.conf file and this file includes the line
steve = steveb
However when I'm logged on to my Linux box as 'steve' and use the
smbclient command like this:
# smbclient //<Windows computer>/Shared
...
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
it still tries to log me on with my Linux username. I checked this using
Ethereal. The environment variables $USER and $LOGNAME are both set to
'steve'.
# smbclient //<Windows computer>/Shared -U steveb%<my password>
works OK. Can someone tell me how to do this mapping correctly?
I'm using samba-2.2.7-2 on a RH8.0 box.
Thanks,
Steve.
