Hello all,
I'm trying to build Samba 2.2.2 on Potato (I need the pdc functions
for a demonstration of Linux replacing Win NT/2K), but I keep running
into a problem. I cannot get SWAT to authenticate any users to log in.
I know that there is no problem with the user name and password,
because I can access the shares using them.
I used the following command to configure the install:
configure --mandir=/usr/local/man --with-acl-support
I used the following to build and install Samba:
make
make install /* as root */
I added the lines for SWAT into the "inetd.conf" file for nmbd, smbd
and SWAT and made sure the appropriate lines existed in "services"
So far the only way I have been able to get SWAT to work is to start
it with the "-a" option in "inetd.conf"
The smb.conf file is as follows:
[global]
workgroup = HOME
server string = %h server (Samba %v)
encrypt passwords = Yes
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
browseable = No
Does anybody now what I'm doing wrong? I've tried the configure
command with and without any options and still get the same problem. If
anybody can give me a hand at solving this I would be most thankful.
Oh yes.... This potato is completely stock, no testing or unstable
packages, kernel 2.2.18pre21. MD5 and shadow password enabled.
TIA
Bill
