samba - Oct 1999 - Tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw

Can anyone help me?

I have Samba 2.0.5a running on SuSE Linux 6.0 (2.0.36) and
Windows NT Server 4.0 SP4 (PDC).

When I try to do a "smbclient -L MYUNIX" (according to the trouble
shooting guide) I get the following message:

Addes interface ip=195.90.254.xxx bcast=195.90.254.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Domain=[MYDOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.5a]
tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in
a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalied.)

I added my Linux machine to the NT Domain, and even if I try
to do "smbclient -L MYUNIX -U myuser" and enter the correct
password, I get this error message. But if I do "smbclient
-L MYWINNT -U myuser", I get the list of shares on the NT
machine. "myuser" is a regular user in Linux.

What can be the reason of this? Any idea?

Try: smbclient -L MYUNIX -N
For me that always works when asking a samba server, and almost never to a
NT machine. I have no idea why (but when it becomes important to me maybe
I'll go find out why :)


Samba uses the PDC to check valid usernames (& passwords) when security is
set to domain. At least that is what my little test shows:

cola:~/tmp>smbclient -L server -Ulocal_server_user
Password: <local_password>
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw
cola:~/tmp>smbclient -L server -Uadministrator
Password: <domain password>

        Sharename      Type      Comment

We're using an RS6000 w/ Win95 clients and only wanting to authenticate
through our NT PDC.  We don't want to use the matching username/pswd at the
AIX level...if their network login passes the PDC and provided they belong
to the proper workgroup, they should be able to map).  When I run through
the diagnostic steps and issue "smbclient //testsrv/ads" (I didn't
actually
use quotes in the command), I get the following:


added interface ip=192.168.200.349 bcast=192.168.200.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[ATEX] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.2]
tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair
in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
testsrv{root}#


Our smb.conf is as follows:

[global]
   workgroup = ATEX
   dns proxy = yes
   security = domain
   encrypt passwords = yes
   password server = *
   netbios name = testsrv

   [ads]
      read only = no
      path = /ads  


Does anyone have an idea what we're doing wrong?  Thanks for any assistance.
