Hello list, Currently I have upgraded again to Linux-Mandrake 7.0. I don't think I'll upgrade anytime soon. Nonetheless, I have made tremendous inroads with Samba. With RedHat 6.0, I could not get the Linux box to show in Windows Networking Neighborhood; now I can visually see it and it prompts for a password. Cool, I said no! It's just a password issue and I have it fixed in no time. Well, I am still trouble shooting. Here are one tangible tidbit I have: (1) There is a password problem, because in /var/log/messages it reports "Aug 21 17:41 peagasus ((which is my linux box)) PAM_pwdb [4277]: authentication failure; (uid=0) -> ben$. The password is correct, both in the database when I use "smbpasswd -a username" and when I type it. I thought encryption ahd something to do with it so I changed allowing null passwords. It didn't work either. Any suggestions?
Hi pals
i?m running samba version 2.0.10-2 on redhat 7.1.
i?m trying to set up a pdc for a laboratory here at the university, but
i?m facing a little problem.
all the clients are on the same network (and also the server).
i?ve created normal unix users at the server and setted up the config
file for domain logons
here?s a copy of my smb.conf file

I?ve configured a win98 client to log into the domain called "LAPAM"
when i try to log in, win98 gives me the following
error:>>The domain password is not correct or the access to the logon server was
denied<<
any guess what i?m missing?
best regards
