ARGHHHH! Simple problem I'm sure.

Hi guys,

I've been scanning the list for a while and can't see anything about the
problem I have.

I have spent the last week spinning my wheels on many installs of Samba.
Finally found the HP specific CIFS and installed it, which fixed some
problems.

Now I am stuck somewhere else (big surprise):

# smbclient -L localhost -U%
added interface ip=142.183.217.206 bcast=142.183.217.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Domain=[BELL] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.6]
tree connect failed: code 0

Interesting, I thought.  So I tried (with the password for the current
user):

# smbclient -L localhost
added interface ip=142.183.217.206 bcast=142.183.217.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password: 
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair
in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)

Also tried this:

# smbclient '\\bc5ckv\tmp'
added interface ip=142.183.217.206 bcast=142.183.217.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password: 
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair
in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)

I have looked at the fault tree for the O'Reilly online tutorial, and can't
get past this step (it doesn't go into enough detail on what to check if
this test doesn't pass)

Here is my smb.conf:

[global]
	workgroup = BELL
	netbios name = BC5CKV
	server string = Samba Server
	encrypt passwords = Yes
	password server = *
	username map = /etc/opt/samba/smbusers
	syslog = 0
	log file = /var/opt/samba/log.%m
	max log size = 1000
	local master = No
	read only = No
	short preserve case = No
	dos filetime resolution = Yes

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	browseable = No

[tmp]
	path = /tmp
	guest ok = Yes


Here is my smbusers file:

strang = "siou.trang"
dking = "dwayne.king"
jprat = "john.pratecante"


I appreciate any help anyone can offer.  I am sure this is a REALLY simple
problem, which is why I held off asking for so long, but I can't waste any
more time.

Thanks in advance.

DK
