Tried all that too but it didn't help. The way I understand it (which can be sum1med up as very poorly), if the registry key on the Vista box HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\LSA\LMCompatibilityLevel is set to 3 and the smb.conf file has "client ntlmv2 auth = yes" then everything should be OK. I found this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc160954.aspx that helped a little. Are there any tests I can run that might help narrow it down to a problem with the user, the password, the Vista box or the Linux box?
