Hi everybody! I'm having an anoying problem with Samba. This is the scenario: Unix HP-UX 10.20 Authentication through NIS Samba Server 2.0.3 NT 4 (SP5) or Windows 2000 clients. Situation: Once in a while one of the users can't map their directory at the samba server. It keeps asking user and password (it shouldn't because the configuration we have never ask for those). Even though the users enter their Unix names and passwords they aren't able to connect. The problem gets pretty awful when a user has to reset his/her machine. At next logon his/her NT 4 /Windows 2000 gets locked and they can't log in their Windows accounts. This doesn't seem to happen for on particular reason. We couldn't re-create this error. The smbd.log gives me these two messages for every refused connection [2000/11/03 13:17:25, 0] smbd/uid.c:(104) Couldn't set effective gid to -2 currently set to (real=0,eff=0) [2000/11/03 13:17:25, 0] smbd/service.c:(425) Can't become connected user! I have no idea of what's the reason for the account locked and all that. Can anybody help me??? Thank you, ------------------------------------------------------- Viviana V.
