Hi everyone, I'm using the online HOWTO manual in the "Quick Start" reference to try and get a basic domain controller going. So I set up smb.conf, and testparm checked out okay, I've started nmbd and smbd, but when I try to to run [root@localhost samba]#smbclient -L <username> -U<username>%<password> session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE <-- I get this error Any ideas about what's causing this? I can post any relevant info as needed. -Myles
I got that error when trying to login or access the Samba server from a
client who was not allowed in the [IPC$] section.
[IPC$]
path = /tmp
hosts allow = 10.143.0.0/16, 127.0.0.1, 10.159.0.0/16, 10.150.0.0/16
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
Be sure you are in this section to have permission to access the server.
Of course, there are other reasons to get that message, but this is the
one that pertained to me. At least it is someplace to look.
Also, try 'smbclient -L <servernetbiosname> -U%'.
If that works and 'smbclient -L <servernetbiosname> -U
<username>' does
not, then it may be a user vs. share issue.

I think the command should be: smbclient -L <machinename> -U....
