Hi, i installed Samba on my linux box, i can
smbclient into the win98 machine easily, but
when trying to connect to my linux box i get
asked for a IPC$ password.. .. what is that?
i have tried all the passwords i have on my
system but still no go
hi
now roni:but if i do what u just said the 95 won't get in...what if you want to connect both boxes?
also what is the IPC anyway? what password does it want to get into that share?
bye

IPC inter process commun... I'm pretty sure
Are all of your machines on the same subnet?
When sharing in NT (which is basically what
your linux/samba server looks like on a
netowork at this point) across a subnet you
need to setup WINS. When this isn't
configured and you try to access a share you
will be prompted for a password and you'll
see IPC$ (or something like that). Hope this
might help...

Roni..
Did you have any luck getting this to work? I have tried all the suggestions in these threads, and I am still having connections issues with Win98. Win95 machine connects flawlessly, but I can't get past that IPC$ password with 98.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

None of these suggestions worked for me either. (What is "setting up WINS" anyway?) But this is the first site I've visited to get help, too. If I figure it out I'll let you know. =)

Here's what I did after struggling with the same problem
Windows:
delete all c:\windows\*.pwl
Log in again using lower case for username
-
Linux:
edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
workgroup = WORKGROUP
guest account = pcguest
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
Add PCGUEST as a linux user and to USERS
smbpasswd -a {same as win pwd}
smbpasswd -a pcguest {null pwd}
samba start

This is what worked for me
To get Windows to see Linux with Samba
1. Create an account on Linux the same as on your Windows account.
(User-name and password)
2. Create folders on Linux under /home directory the same as your user-name.3. In a Linux command line (Terminal emulation program) type
cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/smbpasswd
(You now have a Samba password file)4. Now edit the smb.conf file located at /etc/samba on your Linux machine. It should look like the example below.
Smb.conf
;*******************section global*****************
[global]
users = Windows username
guest account = Windows username
workgroup = Your work group
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
server string = Samba Server
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
printing = lprng
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0
security = USER
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = no
;*******************section homes*****************
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = True
writable = yes
;*******************section printers*****************
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = True
guest ok = True
printable = yes5. In a Linux command line (Terminal emulation program) type
smbpasswd –a Your Windows user-name now you should be prompted to enter your password, enter your password you created in step 1 and enter it again to confirm your password.6. In a Linux command line (Terminal emulation program) type
samba start (You may have to repeat this step each time you boot Linux.)
