Hello, I know there must be a simple solutions to this. I have a home network, samba pdc with xp pro clients. All works fine but I just added a new user and cannot login from the nt clients. Only the new user is an issue. I can login to linux and tested user login with smbclient. smbclient //host/home -U newuser When I bump the loglevel, the users name is in the logs: check_ntlm_password: sam authentication for user [newuser] succeeded check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [newuser] -> [newuser] -> [newuser] succeeded I assume it's an XP or encryption issue but I just can't fisure it out. I use tdbsam as a backend and added the user with pdbedit (also tried deleting and adding with smbpasswd) Any help would be appreciated
