Can not connect to Mac shared folder using Ubuntu smbclient - NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

Question

Are there any experts out there to help a noobMy setup:Mac OS 10.8 with File sharing on, options have both AFP and share files with SMB enabled.  My account is selected in the accounts for SMB sharing.Ubuntu 12.04 with SMB client installed.on ubuntu, if I try to connect to the mac, I get a login error:root@getac3:/mnt# smbclient -L 192.168.1.179 -U myUserName%myPasswordsession setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILUREHowever, I am sure that the ubuntu machine samba client is working properly, because I can access other another mac on my network (running 10.5):root@getac3:/mnt# smbclient -L 192.168.1.114 -U myUserName%myPasswordDomain&#x3D;[WORKGROUP] OS&#x3D;[Unix] Server&#x3D;[Samba 3.0.10]          Sharename       Type      Comment          ---------       ----      -------          IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (LivingRoom)          ADMIN$          IPC       IPC Service (LivingRoom)          myUserName         Disk      User Home DirectoriesDomain&#x3D;[WORKGROUP] OS&#x3D;[Unix] Server&#x3D;[Samba 3.0.10]          Server               Comment          ---------            -------          GETAC4               Samba 3.6.12-59.5.1-2989-SUSE-SL12.3-i386          LIVINGROOM           LivingRoom          Workgroup            Master          ---------            -------          WORKGROUP            GETAC4As you can see above, I can see both the computer "LivingRoom", which is an eMac running 10.5, and another linux machine called "getac4" which is running OpenSUSE.My goal here is to be able to use an external hard drive connected on my mac Mountain Lion to be able to store backups from the linux machines.  I was hoping to use samba file sharing because I already have it all setup on the linux machines and it appears to work.  However, I can not get the linux machines to see the shared folders on the mac.Any thoughts?Thank youGEB

Did you ever solve this issue? I&#x27;m having a similar issue with OS X Mavericks as my server and trying to connect to it from a Debian Linux server using "smbclient". I get:$ smbclient -L MacServer.local -U *****%***** Domain&#x3D;[MACSERVER] OS&#x3D;[Darwin] Server&#x3D;[@(#)PROGRAM:smbd  PROJECT:smbx-275]tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_PIPE_BROKENHowever, it connects fine to my AirPort TIme Capsule using the same command:$ smbclient -L AirPort.local -U *****%*****Domain&#x3D;[WORKGROUP] OS&#x3D;[Apple Base Station] Server&#x3D;[CIFS 4.32]        Sharename       Type      Comment        ---------       ----      -------        IPC$            IPC               Data            Disk              Storage         Disk

I thinks this is apple&#x27;s bug from the new Mavricks update, they might change the codes for  smb sharing, I try to connect the smb share on my mac from linux, it is the same result as you: broken pipe....Lots of people suffer the same pain when they try to connect their NAS(smb) from mac!I haven&#x27;t find out a solution yet...

I can get the mounts to work if I use the proper mount options in my automount setup:/etc/auto.master/-              auto.smb        --timeout&#x3D;10 --ghost/etc/auto.smb/smb/MacServer/Public -fstype&#x3D;cifs,soft,nounix,sec&#x3D;ntlmssp,user&#x3D;guest,pass&#x3D; /    ://MacServer.local/Robert/ Shaw&#x27;s/ Public/ Folder/smb/MacServer/Robert -fstype&#x3D;cifs,soft,nounix,sec&#x3D;ntlmssp,user&#x3D;*****,pass&#x3D;***** /    ://MacServer.local/RobertI was just trying to create an executable "auto.smb" file instead that uses "smbclient" on Linux to determine the available mounts to make it a bit more dynamic.I guess I&#x27;ll have to wait until this gets fixed (if ever) and just continue writing my mounts explicitly. Maybe the above will help you. The key is the "nounix,sec&#x3D;ntlmssp" options. WIthout them, you can&#x27;t mount from Mavericks, but you can just fine from AirPort or non-Mavericks machines.

I have also found nounix,ntlmssp seem to be key.  However, nounix turns off the negotiating of extensions and, therefore, server-side perms.  This strikes me as a huge limitation if trying to provide select smb shares as home directories.  I should probably start a new question, but are you seeing the same behavior?Tim

Yes, I&#x27;m seeing the same behavior with the permissions. For my uses though, the final things I&#x27;m sharing are world read-write anyway, so it&#x27;s not an issue (for now).
