Samba and Win2K SP2

[MaxWave]

Hey all!

First let me say that I am so hooked on Linux that I might just re-format all the PCs in the office over the weekend! :) Unfortunately, i have rent to pay!

My problem is this. I am using RedHat Linux 7.1 (no RedHat jokes please, I also use Debian) and samba 2.2.1a to connect to a Win2K native domain.

The two required results are to mount all my network shares (H:, G:, etc.) and to be able to create a share with Win2k domain authentication (I.E. \\sambaserver\share).

I tried to acheive the first required result by using the mount command as follows:
mount -t smbfs -o username=user1,password=pa$$1 //domain-pdc/vol1 /mnt/vol1

I now get the following error:
XXXX: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed

I tried to acheived the 2nd required result by using the smbpasswd command to join my PC to the DOMAINNAME domain. I also added a computer (LOTR) using Active Directory Users and Computers.
smbpasswd -j DOMAINNAME -D2


I get the following error message:
added interface ip=192.168.0.20 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 192.168.0.2 ( 192.168.0.2 )
modify_trust_password: machine DOMAIN-PDC rejected the tconX on the IPC$ share. Error was : ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.).
2001/09/07 15:16:07 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change password for domain DOMAINNAME.
Unable to join domain DOMAINNAME.

I ran testparm with no errors and I can successfully list the shares of any Win2K PC with the following command:
smbclient -L \\domain-pdc -Uaccountname
I can also find the Samba PC from a Win2K PC.

I don't know what else to think of!? Please help!

Here is my smb.conf file
[global]
workgroup = DOMAINNAME
server string = MaxWave's Linux client
hosts allow = 192.168.0. 192.168.1. 127.
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
security = domain
password server = *
netbios name = LOTR
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=819
wins server = 192.168.0.2
dns proxy = no

Form www.samba.org (http://www.samba.org) Currently samba does not work with Windows 2000 SP2 or Windows XP. The next version should have support.

I've been using samba just fine with win2k since it came out. Had no problems when I upgraded all the boxes here to sp2, I've Never tried XP though.

Try this:

smbmount //1.2.3.4/win2kshare /smb/winc -o username=win2kusername,password=win2kpassword

It will say "session request to 1.2.3.4 failed" when it *works*

Malakin thanks. I will try this tomorrow when I get into the office. Thanks again!

[MaxWave]

Ok, it took me a while but I finally tried Malakin's suggestion to no avail.

/usr/sbin/smbmount //middle-earth/bagend /home/frodo/winshare -o username=frodo,password=theonering

and I got the same thing:
6809: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed

I am curious to know whether or not Malakin is running a Win2K "native" domain?

[Malakin]

Are you running it as root?

[MaxWave]

I am su'd as root. :confused:
