Hi I have samba running on AIX 5.2 and I have broken something recently and I'm not sure what. Other members of my team are able to use it as per normal, but for me whenver I try to access a share via windows (2000) I get \\share\folder is not accessible. Access denied. If I look in the log file for my computer it looks like: [2005/07/19 09:28:26, 2] smbd/sesssetup.c:setup_new_vc_session(602) setup_new_vc_session: New VC == 0, if NT4.x compatible we would close all old resources.

I turned on level 3 logging to see if that would help.
