FW: Samba 2.0.3 - Bad Password/Username

[John Bennett]

> I've decided to simplify my question to start with in the hope of a
> response that will enable me to make some further progress with my Samba
> installation...
> 
> I have just installed the binary for 2.0.3 on my Alpha box running VMS
> 7.2.  Running through the tests in the DIAGNOSIS.TXT, all local tests
> (i.e. those run from the Alpha) work fine but only if I use SYSTEM as the
> username ("-U" parameter) and the correct password for this account.  My
> own account on the machine has all privs. the same as the system account,
> but responds "Bad Password" etc., the same as any other account I try and
> use.
> 
> Access from a pc on the network seems to be suffering the same problem but
> I think it's pointless addressing this until the above one is sorted.
> 
> Can anyone help with what may be causing this - in addition to the hints
> given in the DIAGNOSIS.TXT file, all of which I have checked and are ok.
> 
> Many thanks to anyone shedding light on this.
