Samba and Windows 2000

by ddiall . Updated 25 years, 6 months ago

Hello again,

We have two Samba servers running on an LAN with clear text passwords, one on RedHat 6.0 (samba 2.0.3) and the other on Solaris 2.5 (samba 2.0.5a, compiled from source code).

All current Windows clients (Win9x and NT4) can connect to them with no problems. Now we are deploying two Windows 2000 boxes and “issues” start arousing…

The Win2000_PlainPassword.reg patch was applied and, as expected, the Samba servers show up when browsing the network. Now the weird part is that only the Linux’s shares are accessible, when trying to connect to Solaris (as a valid user) we get the message:

———————————————
\\xpto is not available.
The remote procedure call failed and did not execute.
———————————————

Some more details: all computers are in the same workgroup, the Solaris one is the master browser and WINS server, the Linux box is a WINS client. IF any other info is required please let me know.
