This may or may not help. I had a problem a while back where some of my
samba clients were unable to access printers on the Linux server. My
clients come in from NT's. AS it worked out the password was the
problem. We have an formula for determining passwords and in that we
use differing 'special characters'. We as it happened, one of the
special characters had a double meaning to the linux server and
prevented the samba attachment. The password was just fine when I
entered it but when samba tried to create the link it was not ok.
You might want to change the password just to test that scenario.

Subject: [SLUG] Strange samba problem
I have a redhat9 box running samba 2.2.8a acting as a file server for
about
12 computers. 10 are windows 2000, 1 XP-pro, and 1 Win98. 2 users are
unable
to connect every couple of days. If I reset their password in linux (not
samba) they can get back in for a day or two. The 2 usernames are
"chris"
and "show1"
[root@xxxxxxx root]# smbclient //flr/data -Uchris%password added
interface
ip=192.168.2.10 bcast=192.168.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 session setup
failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE [root@xxxxxxx root]#
Now I reset his password to the SAME ONE HE HAS...
[root@xxxxxxx root]# passwd chris
Changing password for user chris.
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is too short
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. [root@xxxxxxx
root]#
smbclient //flr/data -Uchris%password added interface ip=192.168.2.10
bcast=192.168.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Domain=[xxxxxxx] OS=[Unix]
Server=[Samba 2.2.8a]
smb: \>
Can anyone help me out here.. I have no idea how this happens to only
these
2 machines.
Take care,
Seth
