Hello. My Samba server runs RedHat Linux 7.2, Samba v2.2.1a-4. When I try to "map a network drive" from W2k or Win98 using my NT domain ID, "cbenson", Samba contacts the WINS server and the log says: Got a positive name query response from <the WINS server> and Allowed connection from <my PC> but then it turns around and says Invalid username/password for nobody [nobody] which is totally wierd. It's as though at the last minute, it decides instead of cbenson I must be nobody! If I give it a valid (but different) Linux user ID & password as recorded in the smbpasswd file, of course if fails NT authentication because there's no such user in the NT domain, but it makes the connection because it authenticates through smbpasswd. Here's my smb.conf. So have I made some stupid mistake? Or is this a bug in Samba?
