Good day Andrew, I am hoping you can solve an issue for us or point us in the right direction. I have searched for this on the net and asked friends etc... and still do not have a solution. We are running windows 2000 clients (svc pack 2). The sun server is running solaris 2.5.1. The samba version is 2.0.7. We are having drive disconnect problems. Sometimes we can reconnect, sometimes not. All the times it keeps asking for username/password. Right now we have a box 'locked out'. I can use mine and connect the drives no problem. They are rebooted and I've restarted smb/nmb. There appears nothing obvious in the logs for either smb and syslog. The user name and password are over 9 chars long. It hasn't changed in months. Thanks you in advance for any help you can give. Regards, Drew Price IT Operations Mellon Capital Management 595 Market Street, Suite 3000 San Francisco, CA 94501 415.975.3588
