Yes, I have that, I've tried both hand-editing the /etc/smbpasswd file
to have the strange
"NO PASSWORDXXXXXXX" form, and using "smbpasswd schellenberger" (as
root) and just hitting enter for the password. Either way, it fails to
authenticate.
But if I set the password to, say "s" (the single letter) and I use
that, then it works fine.
What am I missing here?
