samba - Jan 2000 - FW: Access Denied

I just realized that I have been trying this from only one other machine and
maybe it was something to do with NT.  I tried to mount from a Win 95
machine and it works just fine.  I guess it's the NT authentication problem.
 

Do I need to be Administrator on the NT box if I point my SAMBA box to the
NT box for authentication?

Thank you,

Hello,

I just installed Samba-2.0.5a_for_MacOSXServer on my server.  The local
smbclient works just fine and all the tests up to 7 run just fine.  At test
8 (net view //servername)  I receive this error message:  system error 5 has
occurred  access is denied.

I can see the smb server in my network neighborhood and I can mount it from
the UNIX host, but from any of the PC clients, I get the access is denied
error.  If I try to mount the server through the network neighborhood.  I
get an error that claims the account is not authorized to login from this
station.

I have tried this with and without the hosts allow and there are currently
no entries for host deny.  I have tried this with passwords and without.

Which setting(s) is incorrect?  Any ideas?

Thank you,

Paul-

No, you don't. You have to properly set user accounts (on NT if you use
security = domain or both NT and UNIX if you use security = user or
share).

Also check password encryption issues.

Hope this helps,

Micha?
