Hi,
hoping that someone really nice can lend a helping hand...with configuring
samba...
1. I always do an ifconfig eth0 <192.168.0.1> netmask < 255.255.255.0>
everytime I boot to configure my network interface. I want to configure the
interface permanently so I do not have to manually specify it everytime.
2. do I need to do a 'route add -net <192.168.0> dev eth0' aside from
specifying the ip add and netmask? how about the broadcast address? do i need
to configure that too?
3.when trying to test the connection with $smbclient \\\\debian\\user1 , it
prompts me for the password, then gives the error..
Password:
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in
a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
ah.....say what?
btw,
I run samba from inetd. nmblookup works..(i think, doesn't complain anyway)
testparm also doesn't complains...but checking var/log/smb shows this
errors...when I first installed samba it asked me if i wanted to make a new
samba passwords file...i said no, (taking the default choice) perhaps that is
where my problem lies?
