Did you try escaping out the symbols with a \ before them? <div class="gmail_quote">On Apr 30, 2012 11:49 AM, "Luna Moon" <<a href="mailto:lunasilvermoon@gmail.com">lunasilvermoon@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> On 04/30/2012 11:45 AM, Joshua O'Leary wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> On 30/04/12 05:08, Luna Moon wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> On 04/29/2012 03:41 PM, Luna Moon wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Are you guys having trouble connecting to a samba shares? I know I do, my Red Hat server has samba setup and it works great with windows clients, but when I installed Xubuntu 12.04 I cannot connect to any of the shares unless they have no log in. Like anonymous work fine but others don't. I know i am typing the password correct but it won't connect. I have already have client lanman auth = yes client ntmlv2 auth = no Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.10-115.el6_2] Server not using user level security and no password supplied. tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD Is there extra steps I have to do for Xubuntu? Anybody can kindly point me to the right direction. </blockquote> I fixed it already I'm thinking samba or it could be Linux(more thinking samba) does not like passwords with certain symbols. I redid the passwords to only numbers and letters though I like symbols but that is a limitation I did not know I would face. I CentOS 6 samba take passwords symbols correctly it could be a bug who knows. </blockquote> What are you using to connect to the shares? Make sure cifs-utils is installed, then in a terminal, try: sudo mount.cifs //server/share /mnt/your-mount-point -o user=username password=password (change the fields for your details). If you are using the server often, add it to /etc/fstab: //server/share /mount/point cifs credentials=path/to/credentials/file,utf8 0 0 To allow normal users to mount it, add: //server/share /mount/point cifs credentials=path/to/credentials/file,utf8,user 0 0 To prevent it from mounting at boot time, use //server/share /mount/point cifs credentials=path/to/credentials/file,utf8,noauto 0 0 A credentials file should just contain: username=whateverusernameis password=sharepassword If you really want a gui method (slower, and not as reliable) make sure gvfs-backends is installed, and browse shares under network in thunar (or do control-L, and smb://server/share). Hope this is of some help. Joshua </blockquote> I was not mount shares(even though it does mount it somewhere for the time being) it was really the password with symbols. Anyways its working correctly now, thanks for the information. -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
