hosts allow problem? 1

[fowlerlfc]

I've just configured a samba 2.5 on a box running redhat 7.1. The box's name is linuxweb.

My problem is this when I click on linuxweb (or access it from run on the start menu) I get a enter network password dialog box. When I enter the username of amiller (which is listed as a valid user) I get the following message:

\\linuxweb is not accessible
the account is not authorized to login from this station.

My hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 10.186.32.44 10.186.32.

I am attempting to access linuxweb from an NT4 box addressed as 10.186.32.44.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

I am unsure of wjhat is causing the issue. But try this:
hosts allow = 10.186.32 10.186.44 127.

also can you post your entire smb.conf file? James Collins

I changed encrypt passwords = no to yes and now I can browse my shares. However, I can not write to httpdir (from an nT box) when logged in as amiller. Any ideas? BTW feel free to critique my smb.conf file. Can anything be done better.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

I think it looks fine. Try adding to the httpdir
create mask = 0777

see if that helps. If not just remove it. James Collins
