Sorry I don't think my first trial worked I am just starting to use samba, and I keep running into the same problem time and again. I have installed SAMBA 2.0.2 correctly and have (i think) a correct smb.conf file. Now when I try to log on to one of my shares it will not let me in. I get the following errors when logging in: [dutchboy@lisa dutchboy]$ smbclient \\\\lisa\\dutchboy doing parameter log file = /var/smblogs/samba-log.%m doing parameter lock dir = /var/lock/samba doing parameter guest account = doing parameter hosts allow = 127. 131.93. doing parameter printing = lprng pm_process() returned Yes Added interface ip=131.93.0.140 bcast=131.93.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0 Client started (version 2.0.2). resolve_name: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name lisa<0x20> resolve_name: Attempting host lookup for name lisa<0x20> Connecting to 131.93.0.140 at port 139 Password: session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) As far as I know I have the smbpasswd file set up correctly too. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong. I will also attach the smb.conf I am using.
