As Robin says, we need more information.
As far as the Samba password setup it typically goes like this:
1. Usually, the MS admin creates a share (hidden or visible) with the Unix users username and password. Then the Unix/Linux user simply logs in and his password is transmitted to the MSbox to access the share.
2. The Unix admin installs an SMB client and declares (adds) the specific Unix user as an SMB user.
3. At this point you would expect a connection to the MS share to work BUT IT Doesn't. The reason is that the SMB password to be transmitted to the MSbox has to be hashed in (typically) '/var/smb/smbpasswd' but when you look in there, that users hashed record is not there. However, now the Unix box is aware that the user is an SMB client user, if the sysadmin (or the user themselves) resets that user's password with the 'passwd' command (even if it's set to what is was already), the hash will be put in '/var/smb/smbpasswd' file. It miraculously appears. Until that hash is in the smbpasswd file there isn't a hope in hell of it working.
So on your Linux box find your 'smbpasswd' file and look in there to see that a hash for that user exists. If it doesn't you need to set/reset that users password, and if it does, confirm whether that users password is what the Samba server is expecting.

There is a subfolder under /u02/pub called /u02/pub/expenses/hardware that I need to make read only. How do I do this? I am new to using Samba.

Hi everyone! I'm trying to run a script when a folder is shared and when it stop being shared.
Is there something like .start_share or .stop_share scripts in Samba where I could run some commands?:confused:
edit: maybe with a wrapper in smbmount but I share folders via nautilus. Any ideas? (0 Replies)
