I upgraded my samba package to frozen (2.0.6), and now it doesn't work with
my old smb.conf file. I've been up and down the samba docs and I've tried
all sorts of options which don't seem to have any effect (which probably
means I'm missing something basic). I can't even list the shares on the
server itself:
server:/etc/samba# smbclient -L server
added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a
Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
From a windoze machine, I'm asked for a password for \\SERVER\IPC$
connection, and I can't browse the shares. This used to all work fine with
the old samba. Basically I want the windoze PCs on the local network to
have complete password-free access to /public, and still keep home
directories private. Here's my (old) smb.conf:
; Make sure and restart the server after making changes to this file, ex:
; /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop
; /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start
[global]
; Uncomment this if you want a guest account
guest account = ftp
log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m
lock directory = /var/lock/samba
share modes = yes
workgroup = ACMELABS
security = share
; added EnablePlainTextPassword to Win98 registry
; encrypt passwords = yes
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
create mode = 0750
[public]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /public
read only = no
public = yes
please, if there's anything I'm missing, let me know... this has been the
only "problem" I've seen with potato.. but it's a biggie for me.
thanks,
Chris
