We just upgraded from samba-1.9.17p2 to 1.9.18p4 and seemed to have lost the ability to connect to the "[homes]" service. When users try to use that service, the NT logon dialog always returns with "invalid password or username" error. Using an explicit user name works. In other words, connecting to: \\sambaServer\homes does not work, but \\sambaServer\vince does work. Can anyone tell me if it's a smb.conf setting that has changed? Thanks! -vince --------------------------------- [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba Server comment = Samba %v printing = bsd printcap name = /local/applications/samba/lib/myprintcap load printers = yes allow hosts = @network log file = /local/applications/samba/var/log.smb.%m max log size = 50 dead time = 15 read prediction = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY oplocks = no strict locking = no locking = yes lock directory = /local/applications/samba/var/locks share modes = yes keepalive = 30 read size = 65536 max xmit = 65535 default case = lower wins support = yes dns proxy = yes case sensitive = no preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes mangled names = no mangle case = no security = share [printers] path = /local/scratch browseable = no printable = yes public = no writeable = no create mode = 0700 print command = /local/bin/mipsIRIX6/filterLJ4 < %s \ | lpr -P%p -h; rm %s [homes] valid users = %S comment = User home directories browseable = no path = / dont descend = ./proc,./dev force group = staff invalid users = root admin public = no read only = no writable = yes status = yes
