Thread: Samba and MacOSX

  1. #1

    Samba and MacOSX

    I have Asus WL-500Gp, fw 1.9.2.7-8, 1 PC (Win XP) and 2 Macs (1 Tiger and 1 Leopard) in home network. There is a usb flashdisk connected at router, formatted as fat32. From WinXP computer I'm able to access this usb stick via Samba with no problem. Both Macs are unable to connect to the same service via smb://192.168.xx.xx - the reason is wrong name/password. At WinXP computer I didn't fill in any name/password and it works. When I try to use admin login it's still the same. Anyone can help me??? Thanx in advance...



    Attached /etc/smb.conf

    [global]
    interfaces = br0
    bind interfaces only = yes
    workgroup = Rum-net
    server string = WL500gp
    guest account = nobody
    security = share
    browseable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    guest only = no
    log level = 1
    max log size = 100
    encrypt passwords = no
    preserve case = yes
    short preserve case = yes

    [share]
    path = /tmp/harddisk
    writable = yes
    force user = admin

    I got the exact same problem here, even with different smb.configs.
    Connecting works with XP, Vista and Linux, but not MacOSX Leopard.

    There is an option to connect as a guest, but OS X tells me that a guest account is not supported by the server - but it is, actually.

    Anyone got that working?
    Thanks in advance

    I've almost the same but have
    Code:
    encrypt passwords = no
    set to YES

    And everything is working (WL-500gP v1 + MBP Leo 10.5.2)

    that did it, nice one ajax!
    need to edit /etc/smb.conf and set:

    Code:
    encrypt passwords = yes
    and to make the change persist after reboot

    Code:
    echo /etc/smb.conf >> /usr/local/.files
