Hello List! I am running Debian stable with a 2.4.27 kernel, samba 3.0.7 and OpenLDAP 2.2.17. I am running samba and slapd like this in two screens: /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -F -i -d 3 -S -s /etc/samba/smb.conf /usr/local/libexec/slapd -d 9 -f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -s 9 And when i try to access (\\192.168.1.252) my samba server from a win2k host, smb logs the following stuff below and then crashes: ----- SNIP ------ check_sam_security: Couldn't find user 'testuser' in passdb file. check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [testuser] -> [testuser] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER Transaction 3 of length 228 switch message SMBsesssetupX (pid 2710) conn 0x0 setting sec ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0 wct=12 flg2=0xc807 setup_new_vc_session: New VC == 0, if NT4.x compatible we would close all old resources.
