Hi
I discovered for the first time the following issue: a user having the same name
as the samba server can not connect to any shared directory.
I encountered this issue in the following configuration:
+ Samba server (samba-3.0.23-1.fc5) running on a Fedora Core 5 distribution.
+ Server hostname = "bill"
+ "bill" is also a user configured on the server
+ I added a different password for "bill" with the smbpasswd command
+ Samba configuration file:
[global]
workgroup = my_domain_name
server string = My Server
load printers = no
security = user
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = no
[htdocs_odin]
comment = HTDOCS Directory
path = /usr/local/bill/htdocs
valid users = bill
public = no
writable = yes
I solved this issue by changing the name of the server.
However, if anyone had an explanation of this issue, I would appreciate.
Thanks in advance,
Medzner
