login failures when using --authentication-file

[Cherukuri, Naresh]

Hello Volker,

We are using samba client version on Linux machine "3.6.23". It works fine till "9/26" with the same configuration file, we are getting this problem after windows update on "9/27". Windows server version is " Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter 9600". You can see below screenshot for config file permissions and samba version.

File permissions:

-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache   57 Oct  5 12:12 smb_p.conf


[root@******prod ~]# rpm -qa | grep samba
samba-winbind-clients-3.6.23-43.el6_9.x86_64
samba-client-3.6.23-43.el6_9.x86_64
samba-3.6.23-43.el6_9.x86_64
samba-winbind-3.6.23-43.el6_9.x86_64
samba-common-3.6.23-43.el6_9.x86_64


Thanks,
Naresh

Just tested with Samba master. There it works fine. What Samba version are you using?
