Dear Michael, I just have the same problem you have with samba 2.2.3a on a Suse 8.0 machine and win xp pro. Besides I performed all the steps below.>From my postings I learned that the prob might have something to do witha wrong mapping in smbusers file. It seems to me that the workstation account is mapped to user nobody. Up to now I was not able to solve the prob. Do you have any ideas to my description? Or did you already solve it? With best regards, Dominik Fischer ___________________________________________________________ Dominik Fischer Senior Network Administrator ___________________________________________________________ -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: John H Terpstra [mailto:jht@samba.org] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10.

It is in the samba sources under ~/docs/Registry/WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg So in summary: Things to check: 1. In smb.conf [globals] encrypted passwords = Yes security = user 2. Make sure you have create the machine account: Logged in as root: useradd -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -m 'machine_name'\$ Note the escaped '$' - that is needed. passwd -l 'machine_name'\$ smbpasswd -a -m 'machine_name' Note no escaped '$' argument to smbpasswd. 3. Make sure you have a user account for each user: Logged in as root: useradd -M username passwd username smbpasswd -a username Note: You must make sure that 'root' has an account entry in smbpasswd also. ie: smbpasswd -a root 4. Join the domain by: a. Log onto the XP Pro client as Administrator b. Right click on 'My Computer, in Start panel c. Select Properties, select Network ID d. click on Change e. Set your domain name f. When prompted for a username and password enter 'root' and the password you give it for smbpasswd 5. When the system has rebooted you should be able to log on with a username and password set in 3. above. Do not forget to select the domain name in the logon box. Hope this helps. Cheers, John T.

No clues. I've run through all the info on the list. Double checked all suggestions from folks here and nothing seems to work. XP Pro is joined to the domain but when you try to login I get the message listed previously and I get it instantly.> Dear Michael, > > I just have the same problem you have with samba 2.2.3a on a Suse 8.0 > machine and win xp pro.

Have you checked that the IP Security Policies have not been enabled in Control Panel/Local Security Policy? These can be set to only allow encrypted sessions - just makes sure that are all set to off etc. Another thing XP does is enable its firewall on network interfaces if it has been exposed to the internet - it pops up a wizard and the user might have just clicked it through to get rid of it. Look for a small padlock on the network connection icon.
