I started going through the DIAGNOSE file, everything worked until the part when
you try to connect to the shares using SMBCLIENT on the linux box gives the
following message:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 1.9.17p4]
connected as guest security=share
first SMBtconX failed, trying again. ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/pass
word pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
SMBtconX failed. ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree
Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
Perhaps you are using the wrong sharename, username or password?
Some servers insist that these be in uppercase
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you know what this means, and what is wrong?

What is PAM??


Thanks in Advance
