John,

The following is from the Samba 2.2.8a (sadly it requires that you to be
on 6.5 or higher) page on Jazz:

"Previous versions of Samba on MPE could only perform SMB authentication
using plaintext passwords which certain versions of Windows could only
support via the registry modifications described in the
/usr/local/samba/docs/Registry directory.  Because passwords were
transmitted over the network in plaintext, this constituted somewhat of
a security exposure that some customers were not willing to risk."

I think that this might be the source of your problem.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Samba and a 918

Apologies on my previous email, I forgot to include some additional
details.

The operating system is RELEASE: C.60.00   MPE/iX HP31900 C.16.01.

The share that allows a mapping is described in the smb.conf file as :

[sambadoc]
  comment = Samba doc files (readonly but guest allowed)
  guest ok = yes
  write ok = no
  path = /usr/local/samba/docs

The new share I created is :

[datai]
  guest ok = yes
  write ok = yes
  path = /PROD06/DATAI
  user=MGR.PROD06

Is there anything obviously wrong here?

TIA,

John Dunlop
