Dear all, Have managed to put myself in a small bind with regards to user authentication in Samba. Somehow (don't ask...I have NO idea), I've managed to create the situation where my Samba server denies authentication of one single user. Every other user has continued access as before, no difficulties whatsoever. When trying to login with this one user id, Windows 98 SE replies that "the domain password you supplied is incorrect or access to your logon server has been denied". The setup is a Solaris 2.6 box running Samba 2.0.6 with Win98 & Win98/SE clients. This problem is localised to the one user id, not to any specific desktop machine. It is possible to use smbclient on the unix box itself to connect to samba shares, but (as described above) not from a Win98 desktop machine. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this might be? Or where I might start looking for a solution? User authentication is done with unencrypted passwords and samba interrogates /etc/passwd (ie. I haven't set up smbpasswd, etc). Regards, John
