SAMBA was installed on a SCO 5.0.6 several years ago. Logins were validated by an NT server ("DOMAIN") at the time. In March, the NT 4 server was replaced with a Windows 2003 server and the SAMBA sercurity was changed to "SERVER". Most of the users are not listed in the smbpasswd file and security is set to use the Samba user.
Since then, most users can attach to the shares without any problems. I have one user who IS in the smbpasswd file but cannot attach to any of the shares. This user uses a Windows XPpro PC. Every time they try to connect, they get a Samba login box, the window's password is entered but the connection is refused and an entry in the /var/adm/syslog file like below is logged: Nov 17 12:38:43 lsisysv smbd[16491]: [2005/11/17 12:38:43, 0] smbd/password.c:server_cryptkey(1054) Nov 17 12:38:43 lsisysv smbd[16491]: password server not available I tried several times to reset the SAMBA Password using SWAT to no avail! This users needs special rights to some the shares - that is the reason for the security. ####################################### the smb.conf file is below: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = LANDSCAPESUPPLY security = SERVER encrypt passwords = Yes min passwd length = 0 map to guest = Bad User null passwords = Yes password server = %m os level = 0 preferred master = False local master = No domain master = False guest account = samba create mask = 0666 directory mask = 0777 [apps] path = /apps/bin read only = No guest ok = Yes [public] path = /home/public force user = samba read only = No guest ok = Yes [tmp] path = /tmp read only = No guest ok = Yes [home] path = %H read only = No [siqoutput] path = /home/output read only = No guest ok = Yes [photos] path = /home/public/photos force user = samba read only = No guest ok = Yes ####################################### Any ideas on how to solve this issue????
