About my system: [root@myhost /root]# rpm -qa | grep samba samba-2.2.0-20010417 [root@myhost /root]# uname -a Linux myhost.mydomain.iastate.edu 2.2.17-21mdk #1 Thu Oct 5 13:16:08 CEST 2000 i686 unknown In the examples below, I'm using encrypted passwords with user-level security. I can access the [tmp] share explicitly defined, but trying to access my homedirectory via [homes] fails. I'm also not getting any useful info from the logs, despite log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m The behavior is independent of whether I'm using smbclient from 2.0.7 or from 2.2.0.
