hi all, i fail to connect a sambashare on a suse8.0/samba 2.2.8a machine: /var/log/samba/log.smbd says: [2003/09/09 13:50:35, 0] rpc_client/cli_netlogon.c:cli_net_sam_logon_internal(406) cli_net_sam_logon_internal: NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER [2003/09/09 13:50:35, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1621) domain_client_validate: unable to validate password for user BACKUP in domain WORKGROUP to Domain controller ffzx0sa0. Error was NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER. smb.conf looks like that: [global] load printers = Yes guest account = Nobody socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY preserve case = yes wins server = 123.123.123.123 map to guest = Bad User encrypt passwords = yes veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/ passwd program = /usr/bin/smbpasswd -U %u winbind uid = 10000-20000 template shell = /bin/bash netbios name = ffzx0sa2 winbind enum users = yes password server = ffzx0sa0 path = / default = backup unix password sync = yes winbind gid = 10000-20000 workgroup = FFZR1R winbind enum groups = yes os level = 2 security = domain short preserve case = yes preferred master = no winbind separator = / interfaces = 123.456.789.0/255.255.0.0 winbind use default domain = yes #[homes] # comment = Home Directories # read only = No # create mask = 0640 # directory mask = 0750 # browseable = yes # # The following share gives all users access to the Server's CD drive, # assuming it is mounted under /media/cdrom.
