 Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2006 3:52 pm Post subject: Specific user access to samba share. [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I'm trying to access a samba share on my Gentoo server from my mac (which is running OSX). I want to set up a samba share which will ask for a username and password combination to gain access to it. Here's the share defined in my /etc/samba/smb.conf file at the moment:
| Code: |
[mirror]
writeable = yes
path = /mirror
only user = yes
force create mode = 0775
comment = mirror
valid users = justin,@users
create mode = 0775
directory mode = 0775
|
It is asking for a domain, username and password when I try to connect to the share from the mac. When I type it in it says that the username or password is not correct.
Yes, the user justin exists on the Gentoo box. Have I got the /etc/samba/smb.conf file set up correctly? When I try to connect to it do I need to have the username as 'justin@servername' or just 'justin'?
What am I doing wrong?

Have you added the users to samba, with smbpasswd?
you need to :
smbpasswd -a justin
and any other user that is to connect with samba (afaik)
You can run testparm to checked your config?
Just run testparm and look for any errors
Hopes this help, I am stuck myself with some samba config issues.....
