Now when he connects to my share, a box pops up demanding a value for "connect as" in the form of domain-backslash-user. This is where the password used to be asked for under win95. The win2k box also wants a password as well. I thought that the "workgroup" declared in smb.conf would be accepted as the "domain", but it isn't. That is, workgroup\user doesn't work. User@workgroup and user@fqdn also don't work. Maybe the "domain" isn't supposed to be the same as the "workgroup"? What would the "domain" be, then? Do I need to change something in smb.conf? I've tried uncommenting the following two lines: domain controller = domain logons = yes This causes "process_logon_packet ... code = 12" to appear in /var/log/samba/log.nmb. However, the win2k client is still being refused access to a user tree declared in smb.conf. /var/log/secure shows that the win2k client is being granted access every time. However, other than the "code = 12", there is no clear indication in any file in /var/log/samba that there is any login attempt from the client. (All win9x clients can connect without difficulty and they show up in /var/log/samba.) The win2k machine connects without difficulty to the Linux box's CD-ROM, which is mounted as an smb share available without password to "pcguest". I just can't get it to connect to the home tree of a user account, which is declared as a directory in smb.conf. Is there something to enter in this box that will magically get win2k to connect? Has anybody gotten a win2k connection to an RHL box? William Kreuter, Senior Computer Specialist, University of Washington Ctr. for Cost & Outcomes Research, 146 N.
