Hi folks. I've set up several shares on our Unix host 'Geddon' which have all been working fine. The shares have all had the same valid user who I set-up using smbpasswd. I then set-up a second user (devsrc) in smbpasswd and made the new user the sole valid user of one of the shares (data1). Whenever I try to access this share the following Windows NT error occurs. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what this error means? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- \\Geddon\data1 is not accessible. The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- <<...>> Shares information in smb.conf [data1] comment = Developer's work area 1 path = /data1 writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0755 valid users = devsrc revalidate = yes [data2] comment = Developer's work area 2 path = /data2 writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0755 valid users = nzhisops revalidate = yes [nzhisops] comment = nzhisops work area path = /export/home/nzhisops writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0755 valid users = nzhisops revalidate = yes Thanks in advance.

Simon, this error has nothing to do with your samba configuration, this should be all fine. This error comes up because you are trying to connect to the server as the second user while just before you have connected as the first one. Windows NT does not allow you to have two simultaneous connections to the same server (* not quite accurate but for the sake of explaining it would do) at the same time. One way to get around this error is to open up a command prompt at your client machine and type net use * /d then just try to connect to the share as the second user and this should work. Note: if you type in the command prompt net use while connected to any of the shares you will see that connection listed in the output of the command. You can actually get around this problem and there was a substantial discussion on samba-ntdom (from memory) about this around 1,5 - 2 months ago so have a look at the archives. Otherwise get back to me and I can give you more details. HTH, Cheers, Makis.> -----Original Message----- > From: samba-admin@us5.samba.org [mailto:samba-admin@us5.samba.org]On > Behalf Of Simon Falconer > Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2001 5:09 PM > To: 'samba@lists.samba.org' > Subject: Credentials Error > > > Hi folks. > > I've set up several shares on our Unix host 'Geddon' which > have all been > working fine.

LS,
I Get the following error on my NT-screen:
**************************************************************
"the credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of
credentials"
**************************************************************
Can some one explane me how to solve this problem?
I have also create a smbpasswd file with some user account and also de
root
account. (e.g. user=smuradin and root)
The reason behind this is, if some wants to get access to the workgroup
they have
to fill in a username and a password. But when I access this with a user
account (smuradin)
and password I have access to the system but not when I want to access
it as root. Then I
get the error as mention above.
Please help me
Kind regards
