Are you running the smbclient command from root or schellenberger?
>From any account try: smbclient //elmo/apps -U schellenberger -N
Of course use a valid //server/share.
A null password account from my smbpasswd files looks like:
michael:506:AAD3B435B51404EEAAD3B435B51404EE:31D6CFE0D16AE931B73C59D7E0C089C
0:[U ]:LCT-38EA8C42:
and works.
The NO PASSWORDXXXXXX only works with the old smbpasswd file entry type.
Try:
michael:505:NO
PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:Michael:/home
/michael:/bin/bash
Of course, change the account id, and numeric id. Make SURE there are 32
positions for the password!
And it won't work from Windows if the smb account is null password but the
Windows account has a password.
Hope this helps,
Bill

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?
