samba - Dec 2012 - How to Customize VFS Module Error Message?

Hi Folks,

I am writing a VFS module. In certain case, I need to set the error number
to NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD. At the client side, I wish I could see "Wrong
password" as error message. However, what I have seen is "No such
device or
address". They look irrelevant at all.
So, here is my question. In VFS module, is there any way to customize the
error message seen at client side? So that the message can actually reflect
what has happened in VFS module.

Thanks
Eric

The SMB protocol allows a proper WRONG_PASSWORD message at
authentication time. When authentication is done, it is
unlikely that clients expect this error and behave according
to your requirements.
