Accessing Samba from Windows 2000 Machines doesn't

[HupAhh]

Hi,

I've just migrated our Samba (Samba version 3.0.23b running on Fedora Core 7) file server to authenticate to Active Directory and I'm having trouble getting Windows 2000 machines to access shares. Windows XP machines can access the shares no problem.

If I browse to the Samba server name (\\servername) on a Windows 2000 machine I get prompted for a username and password but no matter what I put in it won't let me browse the server. If I log on to an XP machine with the same credentials I can get to the server no problem. Here's part of my smb.conf file, I've tried changing a few things but so far nothing has made any difference.

workgroup = MY@DOMAIN
realm = MY.DOMAIN.COM
preferred master = no
security = ADS
log level = 5
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
load printers = no
domain master = no
#encrypt passwords = true
winbind cache time = 10
winbind separator = /
winbind use default domain = yes
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
wins server = 10.107.1.2
disable netbios = yes
obey pam restrictions = no
winbind nested groups = yes

idmap uid = 10000-15000
idmap gid = 10000-15000

Here's my NSSWITCH.conf


passwd: compat winbind
shadow: compat
group: compat winbind

hosts: dns files wins

bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files

ethers: db files
netmasks: files
networks: files dns
protocols: db files
rpc: db files
services: db files

netgroup: files ldap

publickey: nisplus

automount: files ldap
aliases: files nisplus

Anyone come across this before?

Thanks,
Paul

Does the 2000 box use the same password encryption than the XP box ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

I've made a small bit of progress, enough to get me going anyway. If I browse to the samba server using the IP Address I can get to the shares no problem...I'm still not sure why that is because the WINS/DNS settings on all machines are the same but its a workaround for now. Once I find the solution I'll post it here!
