[Samba] Users cannot loggon domain

2009-05-13 Thread ROUMPEKAS XRHSTOSNEKTARIOS

dear friends,

I am faced with the following problem:

I have a Domain created in Samba 3.0.28a (Ubuntu Server 8.04) where there are 4 
PCs. 2 of them are operating absolutely fine.
the other 2 however when they loggon the server with their username/passwd 
credentials are prompted with a message from Windows telling them that there is 
an error in their password, domain etc.

i then alter their passwd with smbpasswd username and retype their existing 
password. At this stage the users can loggon successfully.
If they switch the machines off and on and try to loggon, I have to redo the 
same process with smbpasswd in order for them to loggon.

the workstations are WinXP SP2 and have the requiresignorseal changed as per 
the instructions of Samba website.
This is very odd as 2 out of 4 machines never have this issue and the process 
to join these machines to the network is identical for all of them.

Any good ideas?
Password system is smbpasswd.

[Samba] WinXP user password not accepted - very strange !!!

2009-05-06 Thread ROUMPEKAS XRHSTOSNEKTARIOS

Dear friends,

I have an Ubuntu 8.04 server fully updated running Samba 3.0.28a. Currently the 
ubuntu machine acts as a PDC and all clients have joined the domain 
successfully (clients are all WinXP SP2).

The strange thing is only with one user where:
If the user logs in with his password all works well. If he restarts or 
shutdown his machine and tries to relogin the system tells him that his 
username/password is not correct.
If I reset his password @ Ubuntu with smbpasswd username and renter the exactly 
same password, the user logs in successfully!
This is the oddest thing. It appears as if this user's password is canceled 
every time despite the fact that the user has never changed his password during this 
period of time.

Does anyone have any ideas?

All WinXP SP2 clients have requiresignorseal = 0 and they have all joined the 
network in the exactly same way. All machines have machine-trust-accounts which 
have been created in the exactly same way. All users are working perfectly and 
all processes are running smoothly with not a single problem except the before 
mentioned.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Chris

[Samba] WinXP altering user...

2009-03-17 Thread ROUMPEKAS XRHSTOSNEKTARIOS

I have a set of PCs running WinXP and an Ubuntu Machine running Samba 3.0.28a.


I am trying to achieve that each user that sits @ a PC be able to loging with 
their credentials
and have their homes directory without login-logoff of each user at the station 
via the WinXP
loging-logout screen.

Any ideas??
