2.0.6 Problem

[Robert F. Thomas]

Has the user been entered into the SAMBA password list?  In V2.0.3 all
passwords are unencrypted.  In V2.0.6 passwords can be encrypted and if this
feature is being used (turned on by default), each user/machine accessing
the share must have an entry in the SAMBA password file.  This file is
maintained by SMBPASSWD.

I'm not expert in this area, but am being forced to upgrade to SAMBA 2.0.6
for this functionality by our security auditor.

Sincerely,

Does the user have permissions to the directory specified? Samba returns
this error code if the directory does not exist, or the user requesting
access does not have permission to access the directory!B
