I have gone through this since Samba 1.9.17p1. It seems to happen I have
restricted the login for someone. I.e., if their WinNT account says that
they can only log into the machine "machinename", then Samba seems to
pay
attention to that information, even though no one is actually logging into
Samba, but just accessing its shares.
I haven't tried removing the "encrypt passwords = yes" feature,
but that
doesn't sound like something I should do. After all, if a Win95 computer
can connect to a WinNT 4.0SP3 machine that doesn't have encryption turned
off, then why shouldn't it be able to connect to the Samba server that is
referencing that same server? None of those server names are in the allowed
login field for any of those accounts, yet those people can get into those
shares on those servers.
Something is still broken here. I mentioned this before and got a reply
from someone on the Samba team, but they never replied back after I sent
them the requested level 10 log.
