Re: Accessing network drives by SMB protocol

Hello SamD,

In my opinion SMB implementations could be different , like the result.

SMB operates as an application-level network protocol mainly used to provide
shared access to files, printers, serial ports, and miscellaneous
communications between nodes on a network. It also provides an authenticated
Inter-process communication mechanism. Most usage of SMB involves computers
running Microsoft Windows, where it is often known simply as "Microsoft
Windows Network".

Samba is a free software re-implementation of SMB/CIFS networking protocol,
originally developed by Australian Andrew Tridgell. Samba is released under
the GNU General Public License. The name Samba comes from SMB (Server
Message Block), the name of the standard protocol used by the Microsoft
Windows network file system.

As of version 3 Samba provides file and print services for various Microsoft
Windows clients and can integrate with a Windows Server domain, either as a
Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or as a domain member. It can also be part
of an Active Directory domain. Samba runs on most Unix and Unix-like
systems, such as Linux, Solaris, AIX and the BSD variants, including Apple's
Mac OS X Server (which was added to the Mac OS X client in version 10.2).
Samba is standard on nearly all distributions of Linux and is commonly
included as a basic system service on other Unix-based operating systems as
well.

Hi all,

I have a client application which can access a shared folder on a Win
Server
2003 by Server Message Block protocol and the required username/password
but
is not able to access the shared network drives by the same
username/password. These network drives are on some Unix file servers and
the
same network.

Based on negotiation analysis info, it seems SMB is enabled on those file
servers.

I wonder what reasons should be considered for such a problem.

Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Sam
