Hi I discovered for the first time the following issue: a user having the same name as the samba server can not connect to any shared directory.
I encountered this issue in the following configuration: + Samba server (samba-3.0.23-1.fc5) running on a Fedora Core 5 distribution. + Server hostname = "bill" + "bill" is also a user configured on the server + I added a different password for "bill" with the smbpasswd command + Samba configuration file: [global] workgroup = my_domain_name server string = My Server load printers = no security = user socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = no [htdocs_odin] comment = HTDOCS Directory path = /usr/local/bill/htdocs valid users = bill public = no writable = yes I solved this issue by changing the name of the server. However, if anyone had an explanation of this issue, I would appreciate.
