Authentication failure

[Cristian POP]

Hi all, 

Please help me with this problem :  

I'm using RH 6.0 and samba 2.0.3 ( it came with RH ) and 
for authentication ( default ) pam and shadow passwords.
The stations are DOS6.2(+MSClient), Win95 and Win98. 

For every connection that is made to the server ( for a samba service )
I get an error from the PAM_pwdb module, which is responsible for
authentication. In addition there is a __annoying__ waiting period after
that error occurs. 

I think the problem is between samba and pam : samba does not
transmit the right user&password combination at first time the connection
is made and that causes. 


The file /etc/pam.d/samba looks like (default, also I tried different
options ) : 
------------------------------------------------------------------
auth    required        /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow
account required        /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
------------------------------------------------------------------

I put a level 3 debug in samba and the log looks like this (see below..)
Also, at the same time I put strace to monitor the smbd process and
recorded a log file too ( it's quite big, but it is available).

samba log file :
