Hi, Running a paradox database on samba 2.2.3a-6 under redhat 7.3. Research indicated that there was an issue with the lock files used by paradox in that they were created on the fly. Whichever user logged in first owned the lock files, thus preventing other users from using the app. The solution turned out to be using the force user and force group parameters, creating a user and private group of the same name (db). Once we did this everything ran fine until one of the users changed their password. Now the user who changed their password can no longer access the database. I have tried getting the user to change their smbpasswd on the console, but this does not help. When the user is logged in under their userid, an error message, *NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD*, is generated. I do not know the reason behind this error and have researched it on google the last four hours with no results. Please advise. Thanks, John jtatum@mercercorp.net
