Hi all, I'm sure this has been seen before but I couldn't find it in the archives. I'm running 1.9.18p10 with security = server so it authenticates against an NT bdc each time I connect to the box. Each time someone connects, the NT box logs an invalid login attempt but then a success immediately afterward. I'm guessing Samba is passing the password in different forms until it gets a success or gives up. So is there a way for me to set samba to pass it in the way my server wants the first time? Thanks, Dave
There was some discussion on this just a few weeks back. Look for the following subject: 'samba error message - "broken (and insecure) behavior"' In short, this is done on purpose to determine if the NT server is broken. Why it has to check for each and every login attempt is unclear. It breaks things when a common login is used (say for a lab or classroom) and you have things set up so that accounts get locked out after so many bad login attempts. The result is that my common accounts get locked out at the start of class because of the bad login attempts. I was planning on commenting out the code in password.c. Since I really don't have a choice for my password server it does not matter if it is broken (which in my case it apparently is not).
