Seth,
Are these 'home' directories ( as in the smb.conf file) that you have
created on the RH box?
I have home directories set up on a RH 8.0 box with my clients coming in
from NT, and W2K. All I do to add another client is set the smbpasswd
and add a user to linux with the same password. Also the same password
as their MS password. Then I map the drive to their linux share so I
can create a folder on their desktop and the rest is history. I never
use smbclient to set anything, and don't know the advantage of doing so.
I am a simple guy and try to keep everything as simple and uncomplicated
as possible.

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
