anyone get this combo to work? i've gotten this to work with red hat 7.2, but am now using 9. I can't get windows to input a username/password that samba is happy with.

I can go over the specifics if anyone is inclined to wade through it with me.

I've gotten it to work, but it's been a few years.

Whoops looks like I forgot to hit submit at lunch time... anywho

It might be samba is set for plain text passwords which was and may still be the default, with win2k/XP you need to set it for encrypted password.

heh doesn't sound as bad as my upcomming issue... getting slackware 10.1 to r/w an hfs+ partition for switching harddrives containing large video files (otherwise hfs would work) with Mac OSX. I know it's possible but requires a kernal patch and I've never successfully recompiled a kernal :/ ...and I don't have 10 hours to screw with it right now :)

Oddly I can't even figure out how to get OSX to do a standard hfs partition... only offers hfs+, hfs+journaling, and ufs...

hoo, don't envy you. i recompiled a kernal 10 years ago, getting a non-standard mouse to work in slackware 2, or something like that. there was a text menu system that walked you through it. I have no idea now. =)

I don't know didly bout mac stuff.

Thanks Dan, I'll give that a try today. I'm making due with FTPing stuff over to the web server, but samba sure would speed things up.

just in case anyone's paying attention, or cares, it's working now, reloaded rh9, (again), and it worked this time. nutty stuff.

in case anyone ever tries this, it's a nice install, handles everything pretty smoothly (except my own ignorance). remember to check php-mysql extension support in the web server setup of the install.
