I recently confiured my smb.conf file with default settings. It reads: [global] workgroup=BATESANDWHITE server string=Alpha Server When I go to the start the smbclient, I get the following error message when I attempt to login. "session startup failed:NT_Status_Logon_Failure. Any steps I missed. I am trying to follow the manual but samba has many different config options. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
