'llo,
Sorry to barge in like this, but is there someone out there who can tell me
what kind of error I'm looking for if the log files say :
...
05/19/1999 12:51:06 Transaction 2 of length 113
switch message SMBsesssetupX (pid 3952)
Domain=[IEPER] NativeOS=[Unix] NativeLanMan=[Samba]
sesssetupX:name=[THOIEP]
SMB Password - pwlen = 24, challenge_done = 1
Checking SMB password for user thoiep (l=24)
Checking NT MD4 password
NT MD4 password check failed
Error smb_password_check failed
Checking password for user thoiep (l=24)
---> 05/19/1999 12:51:06 error packet at line 588 cmd=115 (SMBsesssetupX)
eclass=2 ecode=2
error string = No such file or directory
...
Now I hear you say : password not correct ! But I can assure you it is
... Prove ?
From a W95 machine I (that is THOIEP in the above) can open a (.doc)
file from one of
our (Linux) file servers, but when I want to save it again word is
complaining about diskspace
(of cource there is plenty of that), at the same time I see the above
error lines appear in the loggings.
(tail -f ...)
I get this exact same error at a regular base, and this for ALL users
that are connected !
Checking the loggings revealed that this error NEVER occurred in the past.
Things I checked/did :
- The 'smbpasswd' on the password-server looks intact (I could
"read"
it with an editor)
so I don't think this file is corrupt. Is there some tool to verify
the integrity of this file ?
- I restarted ALL the samba-servers ... No change! But shutting down
one of them produced
a list of errors saying that some processes could not be shut down
cause the pid did not
exist ... You have to admit this is strange !
- The file-system of the file-server itself can not be corrupt cause
it is a raid5 array,
(linux soft raid -latest stable version- 5 disks in raid5 and one
hot spare) so I expect
the raid modules to start complaining if there is some kind of
filesystem corruption ...
but they are not complaining :-)
- I did not add/remove/change a thing in the smb.conf files the last
few weeks, so it can't be that.
If you need more info, I'll be glad to provide you !
Thanks in advance,
Tom
