Distribution Point on Linux

Thanks Trey, have double checked my JSS config and usernames and passwords are set. I can see computers that have been built are using the casperinstall credentials successfully. It’s just Casper Imaging that isn’t passing a username/password at all. :/

There must be something in the NetBoot / Casper Imaging setup that I’m missing as Rich mentioned..

Not sure if this will help, but on my dev jss, here's how my configuration looks:

smb.conf:

[global]

## Browsing/Identification ###

# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of workgroup = WORKGROUP

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)

# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server
# wins support = no

# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
; wins server = w.x.y.z

# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS. dns proxy = no

####### Authentication #######

# "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account
# in this server for every user accessing the server. See
# /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/ServerType.html
# in the samba-doc package for details. security = user

# You may wish to use password encryption. See the section on
# 'encrypt passwords' in the smb.conf(5) manpage before enabling. encrypt passwords = true

# If you are using encrypted passwords, Samba will need to know what
# password database type you are using. passdb backend = tdbsam

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 <<kahan at informatik.tu-muenchen.de> for
# sending the correct chat script for the passwd program in Debian Sarge). passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Entersnewsspassword:* %n *Retypesnewsspassword:* %n *passwordsupdatedssuccessfully* .

# 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 Definitions ======================
[CasperShare]
comment = Casper's file share
path=/srv/CasperShare
guest ok = no
readonly = no

Share permissions:

administrator at devjss:/srv$ ls -la
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-07-26 10:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 2011-07-27 07:51 ..
drwxr-xr-x 6 casperadmin root 4096 2011-07-26 13:13 CasperShare

casperadmin and casperinstall are users on the box. I also added them as samba users.
