More Samba problems

[jpark]

I have a linux file server running RedHat 7.2 on a NT 4.0 network. I can ping the server and transfer file via ftp, but anytime I try to access linux server through Network Neighborhood I get a popup requesting a password to access this resource which is listed as:

\\linux_server\IPC$

needless to say no password is accepted here, even though the same passwords work via ftp.

Does anyone know what is going on here?

Yes, you need to add a user for samba.

This is done with the smbpasswd command

smbpasswd -a linuxlogonname:windowslogonname

Then you get prompted for a password...

Then use that name to logon to the share


Oh, and the user has to already exist on your linux system...

Good luck
