Dear Samba folks, I very recently replaced our SGI Challenge S file server, which employed samba 2 to service Windows boxes, with an Intel Linux box running Fedora core 2 Linux with samba 3.0.3. When I connect to the server, it takes a number of *minutes* to get an authentication challenge window. After entering name and password, the connection proceeds, and shares are displayed normally. Passwords are not encrypted (at least not at this time), as I don't like the idea of having to have a password set sitting on disk, and for other reasons. The log entries at the time of connect are VERY many, but they go in this cycle: [2004/06/07 08:24:19, 2] auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_auth(514) smb_pam_auth: PAM: Athentication Error for user bonomo [2004/06/07 08:24:19, 2] auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_error_handler(73) smb_pam_error_handler: PAM: Authentication Failure : Authentication failure [2004/06/07 08:24:19, 0] auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_passcheck(810) smb_pam_passcheck: PAM: smb_pam_auth failed - Rejecting User bonomo !

Printing is not working, either (jobs just disappear when sent to this printer; other printers show "fail to connect"). Command line printing on the server itself is OK. 144.92.179.44 (144.92.179.44) connect to service ps1 initially as user bonomo (uid=1110, gid=0) (pid 11949) [2004/06/07 08:28:59, 0] smbd/nttrans.c:call_nt_transact_ioctl(2075) call_nt_transact_ioctl(0x280004): Currently not implemented.
