[lug] NT workstation vs Samba

Thu Jan 20 11:26:34 MST 2000

I have a legitimate user account. in fact, I gave the user account
"root/superuser" privileges since I cannot login remotely as root user. When
I try to add the NT machine to the "domain", I get an error that the machine
account needs to be added. I login with a "superuser" account that should be
able to add new machine accounts, but I am unsuccessful. Perhaps if I had a
checklist of some type to run checks against that would be more helpful. I
set up a similiar sandbox network at home and have been successful til last
night, all of a sudden my permissions were revoked for no apparent reason.
Was in the middle of copying files, then "unable to copy file, check if disk
is full or write protected" I know that this is false b/c I had just copied
1.2G of mp3s when I received the error msg. (Another issue to post later)

Thanks again

Mathias:
I think George wasn't talking about a machine account but much rather about
a
user account.  The NT user must provide proper user credentials for
accessing
the Samba share on your Linux system.  Check your Samba setup and see who
can
browse that share, what security model you chose (NT domain or user
level)...
SWAT, which you can access from any web browser through port 901
(LinuxServerIP:901) will let you check your Samba settings.  Most likely you
are
struggling with Samba permission issues.
