[Samba] [Problem] [Centos 5] Samba-3.0.23c-2 login authentication problem

[Prakash Hallalli]

Hello,

     I have comfigured samba-3.0.23c-2 server on CentOS-5, but when i was  logging in from the client system, even if I donot provide password and hit enter key, the client is logging in as Anonymous user. Samba server should not allow for Anonymous login. (I am configuring linux (Server) to linux (Client) i am not using windows) 

1) The contents of /etc/samba/smb.conf file as follows,

[global] 
    workgroup = WORKGROUP
    server string = Samba Server
    security = user
    encrypt passwords = yes
    smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smdpasswd

[kiran]
        comment = Funda Tracking Managements Files
        path = /home/kiran
        valid users = user6
        writeable = on
 
2) I created user "user6" and changed password in to  
   smbpassword using the following command.

#cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd 

3) I changed /etc/samba/smbpassword file permissions as
   follows

#chmod 600 /etc/samba/smbpasswd 
 
4) linux client side 

4a) In this step I provided User-name and Password

#smbclient -L 192.168.0.254 -U user6
password:*****
Domain=[SERVER1.PRAKASH.COM] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23c-2]

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        kiran           Disk      Funda Tracking Managements Files
        IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Samba Server)
        printer1        Printer   printer1
        user6           Disk      Home Directories
Domain=[SERVER1.PRAKASH.COM] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23c-2]

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
        WORKGROUP            
 
4b) In this step I am not providing the password to the
    user6  and just hit the enter key for password.

#smbclient -L smbclient -L 192.168.0.254 -U user6
Password: 
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23c-2]

        printer1        Printer   printer1
Anonymous login successful

        Server               Comment

        Workgroup            Master
