I am running Samba 2.0.6 and have had this minor nagging problem since v1.9.X. Every time a Win95 client accesses a share on the Samba box I get the following message in syslog(/var/log/messages) Mar 9 11:03:46 kesrith PAM_pwdb[31604]: authentication failure; (uid=0) -> henris for samba service The client does get thru and is not denied access but the message does pop up. They do have an account on the Samba box, and the passwords are identical. There is no encryptation employed as this is an internal network. The Win95 boxes are all 95a/SP1 with PLUS installed. I do not employ smbpasswd or a usermap, and I can duplicate this on all of my samba machines (4) with 2 Win95 clients. This is just an itch not a problem. TIA Henri J.
