Hi, I'm using samba on a sparc solaris 8 machine with the config file included below. Both 2.0.7 and 2.2.0 seem to have the following bug: When I comment out the 'character set' and 'client code page' options, everything's okay. However, if I set those to any values (I'd like to use iso8859-2 - 852 mapping) then samba becomes unable to authenticate the users against the password server. Furthermore, it probably sends some very nasty thing or sends a wrong password many times, since the WinNT password server locks me out for a couple of hours. Neither my login name nor my password contains any character outside the US-ASCII charset. br, Egmont Koblinger Here's my config file: [global] workgroup = XYZ01 netbios name = ABC01 server string = My Server interfaces = 172.24.168.158/24 security = server password server = kenny log file = /var/log/smb/log.%m os level = 0 local master = No dns proxy = No wins server = 172.24.148.15 invalid users = root hosts allow = 172.24. load printers = No veto files = /lost+found/ # character set = iso8859-2 # client code page = 852 [other sections follow..... i don't include them]
