I tried logging in with all lowercase, to match my FreeBSD login, and all was well. Thanks any way! Paul A. Howes pahowes@fair-ware.com -----Original Message----- From: Paul A. Howes [mailto:pahowes@fair-ware.com] Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2001 8:32 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Samba Configuration All- I have come across something rather bizzare. I am hoping that someone can offer an explanation for the behavior that I am seeing. First, here is the samba.conf file that I am using: [global] netbios name = CATNIP interfaces = ep0 lo0 encrypt passwords = Yes hosts allow = 192.168. [music] comment = Music Files path = /home/music writeable = Yes The Win2k and FreeBSD username/password combination is identical on all machines. Here is the problem: When I try to connect to the samba server, and my username in /usr/local/private/smbpasswd does NOT have a password, I am able to connect with no trouble at all. However, if I use the smbpasswd command to give my username the same password as my FreeBSD and Win2k system, I cannot connect to it. Now here's the real kicker -- If my smbpassword is blank, the smbclient command will not connect to the share, but it will if the smbpassword is the same as my FreeBSD and Win2k login. This is very, very strange! If anyone can explain this, and tell me how to work around it, I would like to know, very much!
