This is a question to the Samba users. The question was arised during first time samba installation and operation: (MPE/iX 5.5 PP7, Samba version - 1.9.16p9) Trying to get user logon (authentication) via samba. Have set pm capabilities on mgr.samba and account and added user.map. But it rejects login with a password violation, even when the user and/or account don't have passwords. SMB.LOG for a transaction (debug level = 5) 10/03/99 17:34:08 Transaction 5 of length 65 switch message SMBtconX (pid 25886798) valid uid 146 mapped to vuid 1 (user=USER.DVLP) Mapped user user to user.dvlp checking for home directory user gave /DVLP/USER adding home directory user at /DVLP/USER Mapped user user to user.dvlp 10/03/99 17:34:08 invalid username/password for user 10/03/99 17:34:08 error packet at line 131 cmd=117 (SMBtconX) eclass=2 ecode=2 error string = Invalid argument Permissions are set correctly: :listuser mgr.samba ******************** USER: MGR.SAMBA HOME GROUP: PUB PASSWORD: ** MAX PRI : 150 LOC ATTR: $00000000 LOGON CNT : 2 CAP: AM,AL,GL,ND,SF,BA,IA,PM,PH :listacct samba ******************** ACCOUNT: SAMBA DISC SPACE: 34912(SECTORS) PASSWORD: ** CPU TIME : 219(SECONDS) LOC ATTR: $00000000 CONNECT TIME: 244(MINUTES) SECURITY--READ : AC DISC LIMIT: UNLIMITED WRITE : AC CPU LIMIT : UNLIMITED APPEND : AC CONNECT LIMIT: UNLIMITED LOCK : AC MAX PRI : 150 EXECUTE : AC GRP UFID : $05630001 $3111AA36 $001647C6 $7C040403 $131F600F USER UFID: $00000000 $00000000 $00000000 $00000000 $00000000 CAP: AM,AL,GL,ND,SF,BA,IA,PM,PH Any ideas?
