Hello fellow samba users, I'm trying to setup my samba server on my linux
box, went through the installation and stuff, but ran into a whole world of
problems when testing it out (samba2.2.8). As I'm reading through the
DIAGNOSIS.txt file included in the docs, I got stuck on Test 7. when I run
"smbclient //bigserver/tmp" I get prompted with a password. when I
type in
my root password (I'm doing all this in root) I get a message saying
"session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" . Then I tried with
"smbclient //bigserver/tmp -Ufred" and typed in the password for fred,
I
still get the same error. Also I can get to public,"smbclient
//bigserver/public" if I don't enter any password, but when I try with
-Ufred and enter the password I get the same error.
my smb.conf
