wierd logon problems

[James B Curry]

I had a similar thing happen to me this morning.  No users could log in
to the Samba server - they received the "domain password not correct"
message.  I am running Red Hat 6.0 and Samba 2.0.6.

Interestingly, this problem persisted without explanation until I used
smbpasswd to change a user's password, just on a lark.  Immediately,
users were able to log in.  Although it could be coincidence, it seems
unlikely as the problem had been consistent for 30 minutes until just
seconds after I used smbpasswd.

The log.user files all contained the following error message:

<log.oneofmyusers>
[2000/11/01 08:45:07, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(537)
  write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe
[2000/11/01 08:45:07, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket(563)
  write_socket: Error writing 4 bytes to socket 6: ERRNO = Broken pipe
[2000/11/01 08:45:07, 0] lib/util_sock.c:send_smb(751)
  Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. Exiting

I see that you had similar messages, though the sockets are different:

Does anybody know whether this problem could be related to the smbpasswd
file?
