I have a friend that had a samba server go down. They switched to another server and are having problems with people logging into it from Windows 98. If the same user logs in from WinXp then everything works otherwise they get an error. He also said that the smb.conf files were the same on both servers.
>From the errors it almost looks like some sort of permission problem, but since it logs in from XP clients then that throws that theory out the door. Thanks for any info. Scott Here is the error that he said he gets: ************************************************************************ Here it the message I get when trying to login from a Windows 98 Machine. "The Password is Incorrect. Try Again" This only happens from Windows 98 or 95 machines. The same user can login to the samba server from Windows 2000 or XP. The log file from /var/log/samba on that machine is as follows: BTW I'm not trying to login as Administrator.
