General information about our Samba server configuration: - Server is a domain member and passes authentication to a domain that also has trust relationships - UNIX passwd/group lookups are performed via NIS - Running Debian Sarge, Samba 3.0.14a The problem scenario is this: - If I map a share, i.e. \\samba\home, then map the dfs root \\samba\dfs, I get "Access Denied" to all shares mapping back to the Samba server, including a DFS pointer to \\samba\home. Samba logs: [2005/09/15 11:25:56, 0] auth/auth_domain.c:domain_client_validate(199) domain_client_validate: unable to validate password for user [my user] in domain [my domain] to Domain controller \\[my server]. Error was NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD. On the domain controller side, the following event is logged: 09/15 11:25:56 [LOGON] SamLogon: Transitive Network logon of [my domain]\[my user] from \\[my client] (via [my server]) Entered 09/15 11:25:56 [LOGON] SamLogon: Transitive Network logon of [my domain]\[my user] from \\[my client] (via [my server]) Returns 0xC000006A However, if I map \\samba\dfs first OR if I use \\samba.fully-qualified.domain.name\dfs in either order, I don't received the error. Any explanation for this behavior and possible remedies to fix it other than the other scenarios? Thanks, Dennis
