More problems ... I see others have describes this problem, but I can't see the solution. WhenI try to connect to my samba server from Windows XP, I am unable to do this, and the smb.log gives the error "Can't become connected user!" My smb.conf file looks like this now: [global] comment = Music Samba %v server string = Music Samba %v (%h) workgroup = XXXXX netbios name = YYYYY log level = 2 log file = /usr/localhost/samba/var/samba.log.%m max log size = 2000 debug timestamp = yes load printers = yes printcap name = /usr/localhost/samba/printcap printing = sysv print command = lp -c -d%p -s %s ; rm %s printer admin = root guest account = nobody invalid users = root @root @sys browseable = yes hosts allow = ip.ip.ip. interfaces = ip.ip.ip.ip/255.255.255.0 bind interfaces only = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY domain logons = yes domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes os level = 34 wins support = no encrypt passwords = yes password level = 7 time server = true locking = yes lock directory = /usr/localhost/samba/var/locks share modes = yes security = user logon path = \\%L\logon\%U preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes [printers] comment = All Printers printable = yes path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = yes read only = yes create mask = 0700 browseable = yes public = yes [netlogon] comment = The domain logon service path = /usr/localhost/samba/users/logon public = no writeable = no browseable = no [logon] comment = logon directories path = /usr/localhost/sambausers/logon/%U writeable = false If I try to connect using smbclient I get NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD: Any clues?
