hi, have done a new setup on samba 2.2.5. First tried out a setup without a passwd, and a very basic smb.conf. All looks good. then I tried out the passwd - using the entries as follows : ; /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] config file = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%m workgroup = musik security = user encrypt passwords = yes server string = Hans-Samba (%v,%h) [public] path = /windows/lady guest ok = yes guest only = yes read only = no but now get a message : wrong password this message I get with MS-Login as well as smbclient -L localhost -U lady typing in the password "test" - I get :" wrong password. is anything wrong with the above smb.conf ? thanks for your helps and ideas bye hans
