I can't really help with this one - try compiling with passwords??

If you're running WfWg over TCP/IP already, then you don't need _anything_ else on
the WfWg clients.  They'll be fine.

I hope you get it sorted - it works okay when it works :-).

Hmm, you mean without shadow passwords?

I've seen this error before, but forgot all about it.
What *might* help:

*) Is nmbd running and in the workgroup you want it to be?

*) Enable guest login and change the guest account from 'nobody' to 'ftp'
   The 'ftp' account should have a valid shell (/bin/bash) but a disbled
   password ( a '*' in /etc/passwd).

No clue, I used wfw before (now win95) and they both worked.

A general hint: make one samba server the master browser for the workgroup.
It can overrule wfw. Then mounting drives from the wfw pc's is much more
userfriendly.

Looks like you have to provide the username; try -U (?) and a valid
username (ie, in passwd) and see what you get.

I just did something very similar.  I configed it so that the Linux
box 'bashful' was the server, and the WFW box 'dopey' was the client.
I have the printer and tape drive on bashful, and can print to it just
fine from dopey.  I haven't tried the tape drive yet but assume all is
OK because I can see the entire C: drive on dopey.  It's just a matter
of getting the backup software and configuring it (I hope).

Hope this helps.  If not, e-mail, and maybe we can work it out
off-line.

I think these are the drivers are only required for a DOS system not
WFW.  The file you want is WFWT32.exe at the same site.

I have 25 wfwg workstation and two linux internet servers here and
they are all networked using samba....
I had a few problems connecting at first, but after a while i figured
out what is causing the fault, i runs brillainently...:)

Mind you...you should compile it using password....
and when you connect to linux box..you will have to use....
a linux user account or share directory on linux with....
valid password you define in the samba config file...
other wise linux will refuse connection....

Try reading Samba FAQ's that explained and helped me alot...
