[svlug] Samba question

[Reginald Charney]

I have a mixed network of Win95, Win98, Win2000, and Linux SuSE 7.3
machines in a workgroup, CDI-WORKGROUP. The printer is mounted on my VA
server and made available to the network using Samba. I can print to the
Samba printer from my Win2000 boxes, but not from my Win95 or Win98
boxes. When I try to print from either my Win95 or Win98 boxes, it askes
for a password. The message is "You must supply a password to make this
connection. Resource: \\CDI-VA\VA_LP-RAW". I have no idea what password
it needs. I have tried them all.

smbclient -L CDI-WORKGROUP
added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Domain=[CDI-WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.4]

        CDI-WORKGROUP        CDI-ICUE (this is a Win2000 machine)


There is one anomoly with this listing: cdi-icue is not supposed to be a
master.


My /etc/samba/lmhosts file is:

127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.1.*     cdi-workgroup

My smb.conf file is follows. TIA.

Reg.
