[Samba] Samba, Win7 login failure
I have an XP box that is hosting our MRP server software with the databases on a Centos 5 machine via samba. I was running all my apps on it as well. I decided to dedicate that machine to the server software and got a Win7 machine for my apps, databases still on the centos box. I changed the name of the XP machine to server, it still logs into samba with my credentials. The Win7 machine is named differently than the XP box. It will not log into samba shares with my credentials, but it will if I use someone else's. Smbclient -L back to the Win7 machine fails, but works to the XP machine and its new name. Since logging in with another users name works, I have to think the Win7 is communicating properly, I just can't get there with my own credentials. Using my credentials on any other windows box on the network works fine. I'm thinking I missed a step with the new machine, but can't put my finger on it. Any help is appreciated. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Just a guess: XP supported LM an NTLM hashed password. Win7 uses only NTLM by default. Maybe your password was last time set a long time ago and only the LM hash was saved on your server. And if the other users had changed their password later, where it was also stored as NTLM hash, this could explain, why they can login and you can't. What happens if you reset your password? For more ideas/help, please provide some more information (samba version, etc.).

Excellent guess. I did smbpasswd -a username just for laughs and before reading your reply, and it connected immediately. I did not know why until your explanation.
