[Samba] Some users can't log in -- server shows username as " nobody"

[David Brodbeck]

I finally got it working.  Looks like it's the old case sensitivity bugaboo.
The user's UNIX account name is "Chua".  I added this to my username map:

Chua = chua

and he was able to log in with no problem.  Oddly, I have another user with
an account called "Pasi" that works just fine; I can only assume he happens
to log into his Windows workstation with the first letter of his username in
uppercase.

The Samba system is RedHat 6.2 plus numerous bugfixes.  It has a
custom-compiled kernel.  Samba version is 2.2.3a, workstations are all NT
4.0 SP6a Workstation, PDC is NT 4.0 SP6a Server.

I'll summarize what I said earlier in the thread:

In SECURITY = SERVER mode, everyone can log in except one user.  He can
browse the server but can't open any shares -- he gets endlessly prompted
for his username and password.  The log shows that Samba thinks he's trying
to log in as nobody no matter what he puts in the Username field of the
dialog box.  Everyone else (three other users) can log in just fine.

Here's the debug level 2 log output when the problem user tries to log in:

[2002/03/18 10:37:41, 2] smbd/service.c:make_connection(328)
  Invalid username/password for game-devel [nobody]
[2002/03/18 10:37:41, 2] smbd/service.c:make_connection(328)
  Invalid username/password for game-devel [nobody]
[2002/03/18 10:37:41, 2] smbd/service.c:make_connection(328)
  Invalid username/password for game-devel [nobody]
[2002/03/18 10:37:41, 2] smbd/service.c:make_connection(328)
  Invalid username/password for game-devel [nobody]
(etc.)

In SECURITY = DOMAIN no one can log in.  The log shows nothing that appears
relevent (in debug level 2).

Need a little more background.

What type of server, Samba version,  workstation versions that work and
don't
work.
