Thanks for the info Jim... I am running 98 in the
office and am getting tired of burning coasters
to sneakernet huge engraving gcode files to the
emc machine in the shop. Would love to see your whole
smb.conf.

Subject: RE: [Emc-users] samba server setup


Hello,

I'm running EMC bdi2.18 and using a copy of samba rpm from a old redhat6.2
CD. (yes I know that version of samba has several big security bugs but its
my home network and all machines are firewalled from the outside net)

I do not use encrypted passwords since I have a mix of
win98/linux/xp/netware machines on my home network all doing some sort of
file sharing. This makes it a little bit easier and have edited the registry
also.

Registry entry for Win98 is.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP
DWORD is "EnablePlainTextPassword" = 1

Warning: for those who don't know anything about the registry, don't touch
it. You can mess up windows really bad.

Here are some things to try.

Create a known username/password login on the emc linux PC.  Make sure you
have created a share definition in the smb.conf file
My share definition at the end of the smb.conf file looks something like
this.  My EMC computer is not working right now so can't copy smb.conf file
for you.

[EMC]
   comment = EMC
   browseable = yes
   path = /
   public = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no

Make sure Samba is running.  /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb status

Any changes to smb.conf, you will need to restart samba again.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart.

Note: You can use /usr/sbin/ntsysv and click on the smb box so samba will
auto start up when pc is turned on.

If running a windows98 box make sure Client for Microsoft Networks and
enable File and Print Sharing is setup correctly in the Control
Panel/Network configuration.  Since you see the linux computer in the
network neighborhood, I am assuming you have this correct.

On the Windows Start tab, logoff the current user.  You will be prompted to
enter a new username and password.  In the username entry, make sure it is
the same name that you have created on the linux pc.  You can leave the
password blank and press OK.

Goto Network Neighborhood and click on your linux PC.  It will prompt you
for a password.  Enter the one you have created on the linux PC.  You can
click on the little box to tell it to remember password so you don't have to
enter it next time.


If running XP, you will have to create a username that matches the one you
created for the linux box. Goto Control Panel/User Accounts to create it.
Login as the user in XP and browse the My Network Places for the linux PC.
It should prompt for password and enter the one you have created on the
linux PC.  For some reason my XP computer won't remember my linux password
and I have to enter it everytime.

If still having problems, check the samba log file. On my pc, it is located
in /var/log/samba
The two log files are log.nmbd and log.smbd, it will sometimes give you
enough info on why the login was unsuccessful.

This is what works for me, there is probably an easier way....YMMV

Jim

Hi,
I have been trying to configure samba server.  I can see the linux computer
in the network neighborhood but when I try to access it it asks for a
password. I have done a lot of things with the smb.conf file. Also I changed
the registry entry in the windows machine to accept Plain passwords than
encrypted passwords.
Can anyone send me the detail of how to come out of this. Also it would be
great if I could be a smb.conf file.

Shyam
