 Posted: Mon Apr 17, 2006 8:37 am Post subject: Samba Client, login in to domain |
 |
|
On my work I am more or less in control over my own computer, and I have installed Gentoo there.
Now when using smbclient and smbmount my username and my password I can access the files on our fileserver, so far so good.
Now a collegue has shared a folder on his computer (windows XP) and has given me read rights.
I was selected fromt he list of people in our domain, let's say XXX
Now if I login to a random windows computer here, with my username and I log in to domain XXX I can access these shares.
However using linux and smbclient //computer/share -U myusername and my password for this domain I cannot get access to this shares. (Although on that computer I can use that username and password to log in)
After some searching around I found the hint to join a domain using net join. This seemed to be a step in the right direction.
However a net join fails:
| Code: |
$ net join -w XXX -U username
Password:
[2006/04/17 18:14:04, 0] utils/net_rpc_join.c:net_rpc_join_newstyle(295)
error setting trust account password: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
Unable to join domain XXX.
|
This is checking my password, because if I mistype my password I get:
| Code: |
Could not connect to server SITH
The username or password was not correct.
|
Now my question is, am I right in thinking this problem is caused by not being a member of the domain?
And if so how do I join?
To make it clear, I don't have a samba server running, the only thing I want is to access the shares of someone else. (The moment I start searching on samba and domain people tell me how to configure a domain server, this is not what I want)

Erm, we're stuck on NT4 at work and have workstation doing a live cd boot from gentoo (I then just chroot to some unused partition). Anyways, I connect to the rest of the Windows network by first adding alias for the netbios server names to my /etc/hosts:
| Code: |
$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 tomato localhost
171.21.76.229 fe80008
171.21.76.227 fe80006
|
And added two functions to my bash login profile (I tend not to write separate scripts for a oneliner for personal use) :
| Code: |
# Lists all availabe shares on a windows server
-smb-list () { smbclient -L $1 --user <domain>\\<username> ; }
# Pull in a remote share using SMB.
-smb-mount () { smbmount $1 $2 -o username=<domain>\\<username> ; }
|
Replace <domain> with your logon domain and <username> with your windows user name. I can then just list the shares on a smb server using (I'm prompted for a password afterwards):
| Code: |
-smb-list <computername>
|
Mounting a share is done using the other function (prompted for a password again):
| Code: |
-smb-mount //<server-name>/<share-name> <mountpoint>

You may need to include your domain name when trying to connect to shares on another PC.
| Code: | | smbclient //computer/share -U myusername -W mydomainname |

Great... this works...
But...
from a windows computer a get a nice listing of shared directories.
From linux I only get the list of defaults shares (like c$ etc..)
If I know the name of the share I can still enter it but it doesn't show with a smbclient -L
(even with my username password and domain)
anyway who can explain this?

Two questions:
Why would a wins server know about the shares which are only accesible for me? I can see all the "normal" shares but I can't list the shares which are made for me only. So I don't understand why adding a wins server would do the trick.
And isn't smb.conf the server configuration anyway?
Two, how do I find what the wins server is. If I recall correctly that information is given by the DHCP server, but /etc/resolve.conf doesn't mention a wins server.
