TEST RESULTS - (maybe we have a clue here)

Hello everybody again!

I have just made this test:

I changed the IP address of a Windows box and tried to make login while
doing a tail -f /var/log/samba/log.nmb and, although the password was
correct, SAMBA didn´t accept the login until the third try. Here is the log
of that test:

[2000/12/13 18:23:25, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(70)
  process_logon_packet: Logon from 172.16.4.209: code = 0x0
[2000/12/13 18:23:25, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(70)
  process_logon_packet: Logon from 172.16.4.209: code = 0x0
[2000/12/13 18:23:51, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(70)
  process_logon_packet: Logon from 172.16.4.209: code = 0x0
[2000/12/13 18:23:51, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(70)
  process_logon_packet: Logon from 172.16.4.209: code = 0x0
[2000/12/13 18:24:45, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(70)
  process_logon_packet: Logon from 172.16.4.209: code = 0x0
[2000/12/13 18:24:45, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(70)
  process_logon_packet: Logon from 172.16.4.209: code = 0x0
[2000/12/13 18:24:51, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(70)
  process_logon_packet: Logon from 172.16.4.209: code = 0x7

Then I make a succefully login in another machine and got this log (in
log.nmb):

[2000/12/13 18:26:13, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(70)
  process_logon_packet: Logon from 172.16.4.204: code = 0x0
[2000/12/13 18:26:13, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(70)
  process_logon_packet: Logon from 172.16.4.204: code = 0x0
[2000/12/13 18:26:19, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(70)
  process_logon_packet: Logon from 172.16.4.204: code = 0x7

That means that when a login is done correctly I have two code = 0x0
followed by a code = 0x7, and if a login fails we only have two code = 0x0
and no code = 0x7.

Now, anyone can explain me what the code = 0x0 and code = 0x7 means and what
could be the cause of my problem????

Thanks everybody for your help!

Jorge Sarmiento
