The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Samba question

Asked by lwinkenb in Linux Networking

Tags: samba, user

I installed Samba on my machine, and now Im having trouble getting it working.  It is up and running, but I cant seem to log in from my windows machine.  It shows up under workgroup computers, but when I try to enter it, it denies the usernames/passwords for the accounts.

here is my smb.conf:
# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = UBAX
        server string = Samba_test
        obey pam restrictions = Yes
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
        unix password sync = Yes
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        os level = 65
        dns proxy = No
        remote announce = 10.0.0.255/ubax
        remote browse sync = 10.0.0.
        valid users = %S
        read only = No
        create mask = 0664
        directory mask = 0775
        hosts allow = 10.0.0.
        printing = lprng

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        read only = Yes
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

[public]
        path = /home/public
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = No

First I tried logging on with different server users (even tried root), but it none of those would work due to bad username/password.

This i tried this:
groupadd machines
useradd -g machines -d /dev/null -c SambaTest -s /bin/false samba$
passwd samba$
smbpasswd -a -m samba$

I then restarted samba, and tried to log on with user samba, but I got this error:
"\\Server is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

The account used is a computer account.  Use your global user account or local user account to access this server."

It appears that this account has a username/password that allows the server to attempt to log it on, but then gives the above error.  

What is my problem?
