[Samba] SAMBA, NIS and NFS

[Lance Rathbone]

Hi All

Some background first

I have been asked to set up an environment involving three machines

1. A windows 2000 client
2. A Solaris 8 E450 / NIS client
3. An SGI IRIX fileserver/ NIS server holding user home directories


The E450 NFS mounts the SGI and users have their home directories on 
the SGI. When users want to test their application software they ssh 
from their windows client into the Solaris machine and use their 
files in their home directory on the SGI.  Authentication is managed 
by NIS. That all works fine.

The icing on the cake is that users also want to see their home 
directories from their windows machine as a share...enter SAMBA

I installed SAMBA on the Solaris E450. (because I have complete 
control on the Solaris machine but I can only make requests regarding 
the SGI)


Now the problem: When I try to mount the share in windows from the 
command prompt using: "net use h: \\mar-pepe\lrathbone", I get the 
error :
System error 1240 has occurred.
The account is not authorized to log in from this station.

When I try to log in from any UNIX box (Solaris/Linux) using: 
"smbclient //mar-pepe/lrathbone -U lrathbone" ,I have no problem 
getting in.

I was wondering if anyone could spot the problem with my configuration?

Thanks in advance
