Re: [Wlug] samba issue

Using smbpasswd is the way to go but if you want your linux box to act more like a windows box you can do the following. keep the security = share param. Add a guest account param in the global section of your smb.conf and make sure the guest user has atleast read permission on the dir you intend to share. guest account = some_username under the share definition add the guest ok param guest ok = yes with those params you should be able to connect to the box w/o a password like Windows. Further insecurity. If the guest account has read write access to the dir you want to share and you add the following to the smb.conf under the share def users can read and write. writeable = yes Matt Quoting Chuck Noyes <cc.noyes(a)verizon.net>: > Hi all... > > I created a directory, on my RH 9.0 (2.4.20) Linux server, that I would > like to share with other computers on our LAN. > I have smb and nmb running and I can see the share from a MS windows 2000 > box.

In order to simulate share level access, I usually create a fake user (smbuser) and use "force user = smbuser" on the share so that all you need to enter is the password. Then the password is set by doing "smbpasswd smbuser" or whatever.

Recent versions of Windows refuse to authenticate using plain-text passwords. Try using password encryption. You should use security = user, and set up accounts on the Linux box with smbadduser (smbpasswd to set the passwords). E.g.: #smbadduser noyes:noyes Adding: noyes to /etc/samba/smbpasswd Added user noyes. ---------------------------------------------------------- ENTER password for noyes New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Password changed for user noyes. -- Charles R.

samba issue

by Chuck Noyes

Hi all... I created a directory, on my RH 9.0 (2.4.20) Linux server, that I would like to share with other computers on our LAN. I have smb and nmb running and I can see the share from a MS windows 2000 box. When I try to map the drive and click on the remote folder name (\\linux-hostname\share-name), it asks me to log on to the Linux server (I'm using security = share in /etc/samba/smb.conf). When I enter my username/password pair, it tells me that they're invalid. I have identical usernames & passwords on both boxes and I'm not encrypting the usernames and passwords...yet. I'm using version samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0 for samba-common, samba-client and samba itself. What am I missing? Thanks, Chuck -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

REMINDER: WLUG meeting Wed. 7 PM

by Andy Stewart

HI Everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 10, in Kinnicutt Hall on the WPI campus. This will be a "Linux Introduction" meeting intended for people new to Linux. I'll do my slide presentation, and afterwards I'll demo the SuSE Live eval CD. If there's time and interest, I'll demo the Knoppix CD. Lots of Q/A will make this meeting much more interesting, so please bring along your questions. The URLs for these CDs, in case you wish to download and burn a copy for yourself, are as follows: SuSE Live Eval CD: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/live-eval-8.2/SuSE-8.2-LiveEval-i386-Int-R… - or - ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/live-eval-8.2/SuSE-… Knoppix Demo CD: http://www.knoppix.org/ (follow the download links) If somebody could burn a couple of these, that would be great, but if not, I'll burn a few at the meeting. If you want a copy, please bring a blank 700 MB CD (Knoppix won't fit on anything smaller, but the SuSE version might fit on a 650 MB CD). See ya there!

If so, sure, that's possible. Does anybody want to volunteer to give this talk, perhaps at the October meeting? After giving 2 talks in a row, you folks are probably sick of hearing from me for a while. :-) Let's avoid the religious war(s) and choose bash since it is used by root by default. Any volunteers?
