XP to Samba
The basic problem is that samba requires an unencrypted password.
The Windows machine must be set to allow this to be sent.
This is how you allow the unencrypted password to be set on Windows XP.
Click Start
Click Control Panel
Double click Administrative Tools
Double click Local Security Policy
The Local Security Settings Window will appear
Double Click Security Settings in the Side Menu
Click + sign of Local Policies in the Side Menu
Double Click Security Options in the Side Menu
Scroll down the Main menu until you find:
Microsoft network client: Send Unencrypted password to third-party SMB servers
Set this to Enabled
Under the Local Policies\Security Options node, double-click the Domain Member:Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always) policy to open it.
Click Disabled , and then click OK.
Tar restore
When you use
tar xvf /dev/st0 /
you are telling tar to extract *only* "/". If you do a
tar tvf /dev/st0
you will notice that tar has 'relativized' file names so that
/bin/rm -becomes- ./bin/rm -or- bin/rm
thus there is no "/" in the archive. To extract the entire archive into "/", use
cd / ; tar xvf /dev/st0
Safe restore method:-
cd /tmp tar -xvf /dev/tape ./directory_to_restore Then move files over
