Shawn, The version might be an issue. I think I remember some significant bug fixes between 2.0.5 and 2.0.7, and the 2.0.x series is at 2.0.10 now. Who knows if this is affecting you at this time. I have had "group" issues (using 2.0.x and 2.2.x), but mostly going the other direction. I would ratchet up the debug level (when little other activity is occurring) and try to access the samba server using her credentials. Then look in the log files and see what samba thinks the problem is. Good luck, Troy >>> sfertch at real-time.com 05/22/03 12:14PM >>> I've got a Samba issue that I can't figure out. I'm doing nothing than I ordinarily do, yet the person can't connect. I've tried under their id, and it fails, yet others can connect successfully. Myself included. I don't think it's a smbpasswd issue however. This system authenticates to an NT domain (yeah, I don't have a choice on it so no comments) and I have everything defined correctly. Under the share, I have the following line because only certain users can access it: valid users = user1,user2, at group It's got Samba version 2.0.5a, but it shouldn't matter should it? Here's what I do to grant Samba access after all the redtape stuff is out of the way: 1-Add user to box, then add them in to the users.map file with the following entry: Unixid = NT domain id 2-Add to appropriate samba share if going to restricted spot That's it. I've never had to run any smbpasswd related command because of the authentication to the domain. I know I can do a workaround, and setup a dummy account and have each person use that generic id. Something like this: Unixida = NT domain id1 Unixida = NT domain id2 I've tried that as well, with no luck at all. I have encrypted password enabled, so it's not an issue with that. We've tried this person's id on 3 different machines and can't get it to go. Even on a system that allows plain text password from NT (kernel hack). I've completely removed her id from the system, and all smb files. Stopped and restarted samba, then readded her. Still no luck. Suggestions? Her domain account is not locked btw. Anything else I can try? I set two users up identically, one works while the other doesn't. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
