I am stumped. After hours of time I haven't made any progress. I am getting the following error. Running Ubuntu 22.04. What's crazy is I have this working on another machine running the same version. I just don't know what I am doing wrong now. I've tried more than one instance of Ubuntu and have the same issue. I initially thought it was because the share was on a second hard drive but I took that out of the picture by unmounting it and sharing a folder on the same OS drive, but still getting the same error.

tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

This happens using smbclient from an other Ubuntu instance and from windows.

smbclient //titan/share -U samba
Password for [WORKGROUP\samba]:
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

Here is my smb.conf.

[global]
   workgroup = WORKGROUP

   server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
   max log size = 1000
   logging = file

   server role = standalone server

   obey pam restrictions = yes

# This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the Unix
# password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
# passdb is changed.
   unix password sync = yes

# For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
# parameters must be set (thanks to Ian Kahan <<[email protected]> for
# sending the correct chat script for the passwd program in Debian Sarge).
   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
   passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .

# This boolean controls whether PAM will be used for password changes
# when requested by an SMB client instead of the program listed in
# 'passwd program'. The default is 'no'.
   pam password change = yes

# This option controls how unsuccessful authentication attempts are mapped
# to anonymous connections
   map to guest = bad user

[share]
  comment = share
  browsable = yes
  read only = no
  path = /home/samba
  create mask = 775
  directory = 775
  valid users = samba

Pemissions are 777 all the way up the path. SELinux is not involved and AppArmor has no profile set for samba.

In your configuration you have specified the share as \\titan\share, and that's also how you should access it, not \\titan\samba

  • Thanks, I corrected it. Same error still occurs with corrected command.
