Samba 2.0 and passwords

[Paul Crittenden]

Hello all,
I have asked this before but I have not found a solution.  I have one Dec
Alpha running Tru-64-UNIX, formerly DecUNIX, v4.0d.  I am running 2.0.2 and
have run 2.0.0 with no problems.  SWAT works fine on it also.  I have 2
other systems, one running v4.0d and the other running v4.0b.  On those
systems I can connect to guest volumes just fine but anything that requires
a password fails with a "Bad Password" error.  SWAT will not let me connect
either and fails with a "Bad Password" error.  I have run through the
suggestions in the file DIAGNOSIS.txt.  Tests 1 - 6 work fine, tests 7 & 9
fail and since I have doing this from home I didn't try test 8.  My PC's
are running Windows95.  I have tried running with security set to SHARE and
to USER and get the same result.  I have tried to move the compiled
software from the system that works to the ones that don't and still no
luck.  I have even used the smb.conf file, which I will include in this
message, and things don't work.  If I try to connect to my share using the
smbclient command I get "Bad Password" errors.  I have tried everything I
can think of and am at a loss to explain this.  It doesn't make sense to me
that things work on the one system but not on the other two.  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my smb.conf file which works on one system just fine but not on the
other two.

# Global parameters

	guest account = guest
	printing = bsd
