samba - Mar 2003 - can't connect to a samba share with Windows XP

Hi all,

I am having problems with using XP Pro to connect to a samba share.

All I get from XP are repated dialogs asking for my username and password.

My linux box has been joined to the local windows domain.
I am using encrypted passwords and the security level is set to user.

If I set the log level to 10 I can see that LM and NT4 MD password checks failed
on the challenge
returned by the XP machine. I can't see why - if I connect to the same share
with smbclient, it goes through just fine.

I do not have the same password on the domain and the linux box. (having the
same passwords in smbpasswd and passwd doesn't seem to matter
as the problem occurs just the same).

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mat

Francesco,

No - but my linux box is no the domain controller so I shouldn't have
to? 
Or am I wrong?

Just guessing: did you change the two registry keys about sealing the
channel of the windows xp box?

No other ideas

A follow up to my previous post:

Changing the registry (or the local security policy setting) does not
resolve the issue.

Do I need to have the same passwords on
1. My domain.
2. /etc/passwd
3. smbpasswd
?

Thanks,
Mat

I can get it to work if I set all three passwords to be the same (i.e.
My domain password, my linux logon password and my samba password).
Am I supposed to do this? It doesn't seem right to require users to have
the same passwords on different systems?

Thanks,
Mat
