[Techtalk] Password Incorrect

[ellie]

Have you tried connecting by IP instead of by highlighting the share in the chooser?  It has been my experience that the older Mac OS's have only been able to access netatlk shares by using IP.  (This has been true of both Mandrake and Debian for me.)   This has never compelled me to look at all the info you have gathered or to try to solve the problem, but there is a list for Netatalk users which you can find at SourceForge, where I'm sure someone will have an answer for you:

http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=8642

You could put an alias of the share by IP in the startup items folder of the Mac user.  I can't remember if there is an option for saving the password in this setup, but the password has worked for me when I've used it this way (IP)... as long as I kept the passwords under 8 characters!

Hi All,

	For some time my efforts to connect a Mac 7100 w/os 8.6 to a 
Mandrake 8.0,Netatalk 1.5.3.1 PC, have been thwarted. I intend to 
marry these two somehow. Being new to Linux I must have not set 
something or other. I have looked for a few months now.
	The PC running Mandrake 8.0/netatalk is shown In the Mac 
Chooser But nothing yet has it accepting the "password" , the user is 
accepted but not password. Changing passwords and users has no 
result. There is a "Linksys" router/switch between them, which is 
connected to the wan/internet.

	Using the Macintosh utility program "AppleShare Server Info" 
(by Mr. Anders) shows me the server should accept Cleartxt Passwrd.
	The UAMs listing for the server (PC) contains 'only' Cleartxt 
Passwrd, while the Mac has cleartxt, randnum, and 2-way randnum. Zone 
is simply * .
	TCP/IP is not "checked off" for either Mac or PC.
	Also in the utility "network address" info box, AppleTalk Net 
numbers are different, as are node and socket. Should the numbers 
match?

	I would be happy to do away with Passwords, and simply be 
able to see/mount the PC as a additional disk drive for all who use 
the Mac.  How can that be done with some measure of security.

	Any Help would be greatly appreciated. So close but so far.

	    Have a nice Day!,
