OK, I'm just a thick bod sometimes. I remembered 1 thing I changed which I thought was only relevant if the SAMBA server was authenticating and using it's smb passwd file, which I'm not. I commented out:

 

encrypted passwords = yes

 

Now it all works again now I have uncommented it. Can someone enlighten me why this is relevant if my DOMAIN Controller is doing the authentication which is an NT Box, shame on it. I'll tell you I commented it out and I get the original problem. Weird.

On friday we changed our smb.conf file to test the security model that uses DOMAIN authenticacion. It worked fine testing two seperate usernames from Multiple Workstations connecting to a WORLD access share on the SAMBA server.

 

I have to say nothing has changed at all since friday, apart from the weekend :) and we now get this MS error message when trying to connect the same share again from WINDOWS:

 

"The account is not authorized to log in from this station"

 

Just to confirm that on both WorkStations no network shares existed when we tried again today?

 

Should I update to the latest version of SAMBA and include the and/or parameter Trusted Domains = yes wlthough I believe this is default (we are in a trusted DOMAIN)?????

This is an example of our smb.conf file:
