samba - Aug 2002 - Win2000SP3 can't connect to Samba

hi all!

i'm pretty new to linux and just installed a mandrake 8.1 on a little
machine in my network. I got the samba server up and running and it
even is visible in my windows network folder.
but when i try to connect from windows 2000 sp3 the server refuses my
login attempts even root...

any idea?
/christian

This is EXACTLY what I am getting... The first time I try to join the 
domain, I get back "The RPC server is not available"... the next time,
I
get:

"The parameter is incorrect"

Looking at the packet dump, the first time through, after the DCERPC bind 
ack, Win2K sends an SAMR request of 62 which is unknown, SAMBA replies 
with a DCERPC fault.  Then, the next sequence it sends the proper SAMR  
of 57 which is CONNECT2.
Samba comes back with ACCESS_DENIED for the CREATE_USER2_IN_DOMAIN, after 
I enter "root" and the right password, and my logs show:
[2002/08/29 12:20:35, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1367)
  unable to open passdb database.
[2002/08/29 12:20:35, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:add_smbfilepwd_entry(573)
  add_smbfilepwd_entry: unable to open file.
[2002/08/29 12:20:35, 0] 
rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_api_samr_create_user(1929)
  Failed to add entry for user win2k$.

I've attached my smb.conf file.

Can anybody help with this?  I have the user "root" in smbpasswd. 
This
is something stupid, I know...

Christian,

If I understand you correctly you are entering your unix passwords when 
prompted and they are being refused. The reason that it will not take the 
passwords is probably because you have not setup a samba user these are 
separate from the unix accounts on the system. To add a samba user you can 
use the command "smbadduser". 

If you have already done this and it still isn't working please send the 
general portion of your smb.conf file along with the share definition.

Hope this helps you,
Joshua
