Hi, I'm running samba in a FreeBSD 4.1 machine. Well, when I try to change my password, I get the following error on log file. In addition, the system allow my connection to the service, using the username islu without any problem. Could you help me? Luis Fernando.

Hi Casey, Did you checked the username and password on both windows and linux boxes? These should be the same. If ever you don't have a logon server for your win9x, please set samba to act as one. You can also delete all *.pwl from your windows boxes to ensure that no other password is locally saved other than the one in the linux box. Also, try to enable encrypted password option. hope this help. i was in that situation before. Mon Greetings I'm running Red Hat 6.2. Both smbd and nmbd are up and running. I can see my Linux box from PCs in my LAN. Problem is, I can't access them. I tried the troubleshooting guide found at http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/DIAGNOSIS.html, and got as far as the second step. When I do "smbclient -L myserver," I get the following error message: session request to ODYSSEUS failed (Not listening for calling name) session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening for calling name) Can anyone explain to me what's wrong?
