samba - May 2009 - working file server, but logs filling with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help with this.

I have a Samba server (Samba 3.3.3 running under FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE), 
with 3 Windows workstations all running XP Professional and 3 laptops (1 
XP home,1 XP professional, 1 Vista). There is no Windows domain 
invloved, just a workgroup.

Everything works absolutely fine, except that my logs are filling up 
with errors similar to this:

[2009/05/02 18:40:10, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(740)
create_connection_server_info failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

I cannot trace this to any particlaur activity by any user - in fact 
many of these errors occur at a similar time at around 3am every night, 
when there is certainly no user activity.

Obviously to troubleshoot this properly you will need logs etc. I have 
copied  my smb.conf below, but to save me posting all sorts of 
irrelevant stuff, perhaps a first step would be to let me know what else 
is needed in order to look into this further. Or perhaps there is 
something obvious I have done wrong already!

I can find literally only 2 Google hits for the exact string 
"create_connection_server_info failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED",
neither
of which are relevant to my situation. Any help would therefore be very 
gratefully received!

Thanks

Please send at least a debug level 2 log. And, probably we
should increase the level of that debug message.

LIving the dream...


   Hi just curios.

   If u test the connection for each user, do u see anything wrong?
   Maybe u already test your connections?
   Increase the debug level > 3 before u test this.
   After each test read the log file.

   Example: inside the bsd box.

   smbclient -L //your-server-name -U your-user-name

   U must see all shares of this server.

   smbclient //your-server-name/home-username -U username
Password:

Domain=[YourDomain] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.33-3.7.el5]
smb: \>

  Once u access, u must create, list, delete, edit, etc all the files
and directories.

U must test with all your users && all your shares.

   This I do everytime I build a samba server. Inside the Unix/Linux
box and with the user desktop.

   See u latter!!!
