Samba not asking for password

Samba not asking for password

[David Jackson]

Ok -
Samba box = slacker.homelinux.net (Slackware 8.0 + Samba 2.2.5)
Windowsb box = beans.homelinux.net (WinMe)

The puzzle is slacker doesn't show up in "My Network places"? And
if I search for slacker.homelinux.net it cann't find it even though
I can ping and ssh to it by name?

I can map the samba share either with ip address or alias "slacker" with
\\slacker\home.

And finaly, after mapping it doesn't request my password.

My smb.conf is attached below for your reading and viewing pleasure.

Hi,

I see you have chosen encrypted passwords. Are
the files smbpasswd and smbusers properly set up ? 

I find here two additional files: MACHINE.SID and
lmhosts. Do you have them?

I also remember having read in a very early howto
document about Windows polling very irregularly
for updates on the configuration, so that if you
changed it and restarted the daemons you did not
necessarily saw the changes reflected
immediately. Is this still the situation? (I
suppose yes, since Windows is still the OS we all
know and love...)

Gerardo
