Hello List :
i have a serious problem about samba authentication!!!
Samba Server domain name is "ftp.sg.s1" in intranet DNS
Samba Share Folder name is "DDT-1"
I have a share folder named "DDT-1", which needs legal account to access!
But, it appears to have some error in the authentication with Samba!
When our client attempt to connect to Samba server(\\debian100\DDT-1) and
clicked on the share folder(DDT-1), an authentication window appears, but
proper authentication cannot be performed. Even legal accounts cannot log in!!!
However, if our client attemp to connect to Samba server using
(\\ftp.sg.s1\DDT-1) and clicked on the share folder(DDT-1), the client can then
login without problem.
WHY?????
i think ,the samba config file (smb.conf) DIDN'T know where DDT-1 server
in our intranet!!! !!!!!so that i modify my smb.conf as follow:
################################

I'm not that Samba-literate, but it looks to me like when they connect
to \\ftp.sg.s1\DDT-1 the username being fed to the server is probably
the standard alias for "anonymous", which is "ftp". You have that
defined ad the user for the guest account. Thus your users are
connecting as guests.
My guess is that you failed to create the smbpassword list. This is a
separate authentication mechanism in addition to the normal Linux
authentication. If you have a Linux user named axacheng, you'll need to
run "smbpasswd -a axacheng" to add a new user to the Samba
authentication mechanism with the name "axacheng". Then from Windows,
axacheng can map a drive to his home directory using this username and
whatever password you gave in the above step.
