I have been through your diagnostics pages and FAQ, but I don't think it
answers my question, or maybe because I am new to this, I just
don't get understand. Well here goes:
I have installed samba v2.0.7. I have tested several user accounts
(From the NT domain "vortex") with mapping drives from the PC's (running
Windows NT) with no problems at all. The problem I have is one
particular account (ie. user jsmith) which is in the NT domain "goobang"
is unable to map drives. Now goobang "trusts" vortex.
I have the smb.conf file with the settings security = server and
password server = zaphod.
Zaphod is the PDC of the Goobang Domain
Nargun is the BDC for the vortex Domain
When I try mapping one of the shares the message returned with "the
password is incorrect. Try again."
I have attached the smb.conf for the site. Hope you are able to help....

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors.
#
#======================= Global Settings =====================================

# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: REDHAT4
workgroup = GOOBANG
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Samba Server - Auriga
# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
; hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.
# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
load printers = yes
# you may wish to override the location of the printcap file
printcap name = /applic/samba/lib/printcap
# on SystemV system setting printcap name to lpstat should allow
# you to automatically obtain a printer list from the SystemV spool
# system
; printcap name = lpstat
# It should not be necessary to specify the print system type unless
# it is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx
; printing = bsd
# Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to /etc/passwd
# otherwise the user "nobody" is used

# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects

# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).

# Browser Control Options:
# set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master
# browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply

# OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser
# elections. The default value should be reasonable (default is 0, which means
# nmbd will lose elections to Windows machines.
; os level = 33

# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this

# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election

# configured at install time to be a primary domain controller.
# EXPERIMENTAL PARMATER - FOR NEXT VERSION OF SAMBA

# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for
# Windows95 workstations.

# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS Server
# CAN'T BE A SERVER AND A CLIENT see below

# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
# wins server = 192.207.157.41
# WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
# behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be
# at least one WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.
wins proxy = yes
# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
# via DNS nslookups. The built-in default for versions 1.9.17 is yes,
# this has been changed in version 1.9.18 to no.
