DO the user credentials on the windows boxes match the credentials on the samba box?Les Mikesell wrote:yes, I did and have verified that users are already there and 'the same' in webmin terms.Ray Leventhal wrote:Normally you have to add the users yourself with their passwords since the encryption is different than the linux passwd file uses and it can only be done when you still have the plaintext.smbpasswd -a login_name But didn't you say you used webmin with this enabled?I am not using a PDC in the network, only clients on WinXP and the Cent OS machine.If the users are already in a windows domain you can just use security = server and password server = your_domain_controller.By the way, if you are setting up a new box from scratch just to serve windows users you might like SME server (http://www.contribs.org). It is based on Centos but all administration is through a simple web interface.As Cent is already built, I'm inclined to keep it.Any idea why I can't seem to browse in anything other than 'share' mode? The user mode keeps popping up an authentication box for which there seems not to be a correct answer...meaning I re-auth, but I keep getting the box, with <MACHINE>/ prepended to my username.Thanks, -Ray
Did you turn off simple filesharing on the XP machines? -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
