unable to access folder

Hello,

I guess you are using domain authentication. How does your smb.conf look
like?

Are there entries like:

security = domain
encrypt passwords = yes
password server = *

Also, while adding domain users to the smbpasswd database you shouldn't
enter any password, just hit enter twice.

What is the result of 'smbclient -L hostname'? (run as root, using the root
password when asked)

cheers
Gustavo
