Hi, I'm having exactly the same problem in my environment. We're running
Samba on 5 Solaris 9 servers (both Sparc and x86) and I receive the same
error message when I try to connect from a Windows XP 64 bit client.
I've changed the SECURITY parameter to USER in the smb.conf file and
that gives me the ability to authenticate on the local machine, but I
need to have this working in a domain environment.
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.
Thx,
Tommy Magnusson
