I just upgraded to Leopard, and I am unable to mount Samba shares on my computer anymore. I have tinkered with the smb.conf file on the server a bit (Solaris 10), and setting folders to browseable allows a connection, but since this allows anyone who can log in to the samba server to read the contents of the folder, I do no want to leave it like this. Anyone else experience this or have a solution?

Noone? Could someone possibly post their smb.conf if they have a UNIX/Linux samba share working properly with Leopard so I could compare and see if it's a configuration issue?

I'm having the same problem

Since I've updated to Leopard, I cannot access any of my machines on which I have samba shares. Samba keeps insisting that my password is invalid, even though I can still connect on my 10.4 machines.

I also am having the same problem.

I used to be able to use my Windows XP laptop to map directly to my G5 and read/write and after
updating this failed but I think I know why.

The preferences pane has an icon for sharing. If you look at file sharing, the whole setup for
making it work has changed.

It's not terribly intuitive but I tried setting it up so that it would work but I'm still not having any luck.

Ideas anyone?

The server shows up in finder.
I can ping the server from terminal.
I can SSH to the server from terminal and check the password is working.
When I chose connect to server or click on my server name in Finder it says the user name and password are invalid when the clearly are not.

The tooltip for the name filed suggest "domain/user name" but this doesn't work here.

Did Apple completely hose this or is there more stringent settings somewhere?

A firewall setting perhaps?

I found this post that let me fix the samba shares in a way that was accessible from all my client machines, PC and Mac.

Sharing with Leopard OSX - SMB or NFS - Ubuntu Forums
