spowers's questions

I have a samba server set up with a couple of shares that I would like to access using authentication. As an initial test I was able to set them up to allow guest access, then I disabled that, enabled the 'user' authentication, and added+enabled a user using smbpasswd. I am unable to connect to the share from my windows machine, using the username@ipaddress for the username field. The windows machine is connected to an AD domain, and wonder if that is causing any of the issues I am having.

here is the share configuration

[share]
comment = an example
path = /home/spowers/Public/share
browsable = yes
guest ok = no
write list = spowers
valid users = spowers
read only = no
create mask = 0755

In the samba logs I get:

create_connection_server_info failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

Any advice?

I am trying to enable InnDB on my linux server. I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 JeOS on an ESX server. I then installed mySQL and tomcat using aptitude. However when I use SHOW ENGINES; in mySQL it does not appear that InnoDB was installed. I then tried following the directions in the documentation. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/innodb.html However I get the following when trying to enable a plugin:

ERROR 1123 (HY000): Can't initialize function 'InnoDB'; Plugin initialization function failed.

I would appreciate some advice as to how to approach this problem.
