samba - Jan 2000 - "The credentials supplied conflict with " ..message

We have just upgraded from Samba 1.9.18p7 to 2.0.6.

We are now encountering this problem with 2.0.6 which was discussed 
back in 1998.  We never had the problem with 1.9.18p7.  We haven't 
changed the smb.conf as we are just using Samba in basic fileserver 
mode.  Is there a change we need to make to get rid of this message and 
restriction occuring?

The NT network redirector can't handle it. What you can do is 
either to place different entries in you local lmhosts file ( on 
the NT box ) and use those. 

Here's the general idea 

        net use \\server\share1 /user:1 

        net use \\aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd\share2 /user:user2 

where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP address of "server" 

Hope this helps,

The default security setting changed from 1.9.18 to 2.0 versions of
samba. 1.9.18 defaulted to "security = share" while 2.0 defaults to 
"security = user". In user mode security NT will only allow one set
of "credentials" to be used at a time. You can change your security
setting back to share and it will behave as before otherwise you 
need to disconnect from the old share before trying to map the new
one.
