[Samba] NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE on auth to a win NT4-server
Hello, after long searching in the docs, the web and my Samba-books I have to ask here. I followed exact the steps described in the book: "samba-3 by example" up to chapter 5. What kind of trouble indicates this errormessage after trying this: server:# smbclient //domain/SHARE -U user -d 2 Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE In my client-logfile apperars always the same message: [2004/09/15 04:08:30, 0] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(1122) make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed! I found so many questions with the NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE - error, but no solution or at minimum any hint, what is going wrong here. Connecting from a windows-box I get always the password-dialog-box.

It can be other issues as well, but there's no enough information about your case.> In my client-logfile apperars always the same message: > > [2004/09/15 04:08:30, 0] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(1122) > make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!This means that there is a problem with the user account. What problem exactly depends on what "passdb backend" you use and the way you initialize users there. Igor
