Hello List: I have a problem i can't work around. Look [root@Server samba]# smbclient //server/homes -UHarald%pass added interface ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx bcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nmask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx added interface ip=192.168.100.1 bcast=192.168.100.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Domain=[INTSER] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.7] smb: \> exit [root@Server samba]# exit exit [Harald@Server Harald]$ smbclient //server/homes added interface ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx bcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nmask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx added interface ip=192.168.100.1 bcast=192.168.100.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE [Harald@Server Harald]$ Its the same password but when I login through the user, i get this error. The same thing happens when i try to login as root with "smbclient //Server/homes" and then enter the passwd. But if i do a -Uroot%passwd, there's no problem. To be honest, i have been surfing around for days and days and read all the howto's there is and nevertheless can't find any errors. I am including all the configuration files i have below. Greetings and thanks in advance for your help!!
