Wow I'm sending my second cry for help before the first even gets a reply, I'm starting to feel like a moron because I have no idea how I caused this current hitch. Here's the story: I was trying to add an acct called "administrator" to samba which has an enabled,good linux acct. I never did get that acct working for some unknown reason, but what happened as a result of my playing is that smbclient -L PGH0710(my samba server) fails with an invalid/passwd combo. I never touched the nobody acct, so I'm lost as to why this started failing. In my smb user map I have nobody = guest pcguest smbguest (again I did not edit this ), I believe that doesn't matter though because I disabled the user map and the same thing happened. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jim
If it was me, I'd take a quick look at /etc/smbpasswd to see if I mucked something up in there without realizing it. Other than that, I'm not too sure...

You will have to map this account to something unix understands, i.e. admin or smbadmin.>but what happened as a result of my playing is that smbclient -L PGH0710(my samba >server) fails with an invalid/passwd combo.

You should be logged in as that user. If you have "encrypted passwords = yes", inspect your smbpasswd file.
