I can't thing of how to look for this problem in the archive! I have a Redhat7.2 server running the 2.2.4 rbl version of SAMBA. This system is joined into our CLUSTERS domain and has just a read-only share on it. The PDC is a 2.2.3a SAMBA on an IRIX system. If I take a WinXP system which is just a member of the CLUSTERS workgroup and not joined into the domain, login to that with a suitable username and password, I can then browse to the server and see the contents of the read-only share. If I take a WinXP system, which is joined into the CLUSTERS domain, I can login with the same username as above. I can browse to the server and see the folder for the read-only share but, if I try to open the share, I get a username/password prompt! Giving the same username and password for the login user just gives the prompt again. However, if I give a different username and corresponding password, I can open the share! The log-file on the server says: .. smb/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(1036) No such user <username-snipped> [CLUSTERS] - using guest account In the log on the PCD I can't see any indication that it rejected the username, though it is difficult to see the wood for the trees there!
