Different encrypted samba passwords than Unix passwords...
I may be reading this wrong, but I'm trying to figure out why samba is sometimes trying to do a Unix password lookup to authenticate a samba connect. I have my samba passwords different than my Unix passwords. I'm using my own compiled version of Samba 1.9.18p10. I have an NT4 SP3 box and when I try to access a share through explorer on either of my two Linux boxes with encrypted passwords it fails. It appears that if I enter the correct samba password it tries to authenticate the Unix password. The odd thing is if I delete the shares on the NT box and then re-add them (using "net use") it works fine again... I think until the next reboot -- at least it never works after a reboot.
