Hello guys, I have set up Samba after reading a lot of docs and yet I am having issues. I can not view/mount my shares from my Windows 2k server. smbclient //ip/share -U kkcarter%password works. I get in right away. Please note that I did add the machine with a dollar sign as a doc pointed out using smbpasswd -m -a machine$ afterwards, I added the username of the person logged in the windows box and made sure the smb password is the same as the one in Windows. yet, it doesn't work. here's some (hopefully) helpful output from the logs: [2003/04/22 22:44:31, 3] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(868) sesssetupX:name=[kkcarter] [2003/04/22 22:44:31, 4] smbd/password.c:smb_password_ok(475) smb_password_ok: Checking SMB password for user kkcarter [2003/04/22 22:44:31, 4] smbd/password.c:smb_password_ok(499) smb_password_ok: Checking NT MD4 password [2003/04/22 22:44:31, 4] smbd/password.c:smb_password_ok(504) smb_password_ok: NT MD4 password check failed [2003/04/22 22:44:31, 4] smbd/password.c:smb_password_ok(518) smb_password_ok: Checking LM password [2003/04/22 22:44:31, 4] smbd/password.c:smb_password_ok(523) smb_password_ok: LM password check failed [2003/04/22 22:44:31, 2] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(575) pass_check_smb failed - invalid password for user [kkcarter] [2003/04/22 22:44:31, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(975) NT Password did not match for user 'kkcarter'! [2003/04/22 22:44:31, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(985) Defaulting to Lanman password for kkcarter In my config, passwords are set to encrypt, security is set to user. W2k is configured by default so plain passwords shoult not be on. Why is it failing ? Any input is greatly appreciated. Cheers, George
