I have been playing with SAMBA here with Linux and found that there are
known problems<GRIN> with it. Recently Microsoft changed the algorithm used
to encrypt passwords(WinNT SP3) and SAMBA hasn't caught up with that. You
need to enable plain text passwords on your Windows machines and this
problem should go away.
See Microsoft technical articles #Q187228 and Q166730 for the registry
entries to enable plain text passwords.(which are not really plain text, but
that's another subject)

Here's the deal, I'm able to use gnomba to see the NT computer on the NT
network that I want to mount. I've got user access to this computer. But
when I give it my username and password, it refuses to let me in. So I
thought this might be a problem with gnomba and decided to use the smbmount
command. It gave back a positive name query response from the correct NT box
and then asked for a password. When I entered in the correct password for my
username I got the following response back:
session setup failed : ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (ACCESS denied.)
smbmount: login failed
Could not umount /mnt/share: Device or resource busy
smbmount: exit
Now /mnt/share is the directory I set up to mount the share directory from
the NT box. I'm guessing because of the previous errors the smbumount
command could not dismount this drive right away. Are my acces problems due
to my SAMBA or to the NT network I'm connected to?
I'm running Mandrake 6.1 on a 133 Mhz pentium DELL computer. Any Ideas?
Please don't say contact the SAMBA people because I am never able to get an
answer from them.
Thanx,
SA
