Hello,

I am trying to access Windows XP Home from Redhat 9 Linux. I don't
have the samba server installed on Linux, nor do I care to.

The windows machine:
Username: USER
Password: 1234
NetBIOS name: HOME1
Workgroup: MSHOME

smbclient version: 2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix

$ smbclient -L HOME1
added interface ip=192.168.0.20 bcast=192.168.0.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Domain=[MSHOME] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
IPC$ IPC Remote IPC
print$ Disk Printer Drivers
Test Disk

Server Comment
--------- -------
HOME1 USERs Home Computer

Workgroup Master
--------- -------
MSHOME HOME1

Now "Test" was created by USER and shared by USER.

So I try:

$ smbclient //HOME1/Test -W MSHOME -U USER
added interface ip=192.168.0.20 bcast=192.168.0.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Domain=[MSHOME] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
smb: \> put test
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \test


I of course entered the correct password for user. When I go to the
Windows box though, pull up Computer Management, I see USER logged in
but it shows "Yes" in the guest column. Obviously I shouldn't be a
guest.

So I try it again, this time entering the wrong password:

$ smbclient //HOME1/Test -W MSHOME -U USER
added interface ip=192.168.0.20 bcast=192.168.0.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Domain=[MSHOME] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
smb: \>

It still logs me in! What's going on here?!

Thanks for your help.
