[Samba] Unable to log into a workgroup share after saving password in XP
HI, I'm currently running redhat 7.3, using samba 2.2.7 on our webserver and am using Windows XP on the desktop, logging into our domain, I set up the sameba server to allow a specific user only to log in in the default workgroup 'Workgroup'. This was working fine (for around 2 weeks), but I decided to click the save password box in windows, and for some reason everytime now, it refuses to let me even access the share, I keep getting the following error: ----- Start Error ----- \\Webdev\webroot is not accessable. You might not have the correct permissions to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access. The user name could not be found. ----- End Error ----- If I log out and login the machine locally (i.e not into the domain), I can access the share no problem, it would seem that for some reason when I clicked same password, windows has added some extra information, and this is stopping me from logging in, this has also happened to other users as well, everyone can login to the share if they are local, but if they saved the password and re logged into the domain, they are all kicked out. All the people who have not saved the password, can still login ok. There are no details in the actuall workstations logs on the samba server. Am I correct in thinking this is a windows error, or could the samba server be setup wrong? All I probally need to do is delete the referance to this server and password in windows, but for the life of me I cannot find it. I presume it's probally in the registery somewhere. Googling has not uncovered much so far, but I'm still looking. Thanks in advance Mark C -- Ever mind The Rule of Three Three times what thou givest returns to thee.
