[Samba] I am unable to access my shares: Incorrect password or Invalid user name
SAMBER server=3.0.1, Linux server=8.0, Windows Client= win 2000 pro I am a newbie facing problems with my shares. I get "Incorrect password or Invalid user name" after I enter my user name and password. I have created the username on the my windows machine, my Linux machine and with smbpasswd with same password. when I issue : "smbclient //host/share" from the Linux machine , it prompts me for password and afterwards it displays the following message: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE A copy of my smb client file is : # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 128.1.100.67 (128.1.100.67) # Date: 2004/01/15 17:33:15 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = IMSD netbios name = SAMBA log level = 3 ldap ssl = no [share1] comment = test share path = /var/log read only = No [globus] comment = globus image directory path = /var/globus-image read only = No I can see the shares (without password) when I set "security = share" and "guest ok = yes". I also noticed through the SWAT interface that smbd is always down even after restarting severally. I also tried starting from the command prompt (nmbd 1st, then follwed by smbd) and I dont get any error message. But it displays not running (smbd only) from SWAT interface. I am really confused. Any help? Abdul
