[Samba] Secret is bad

[Konkol, Josh]

I have two suggestions:

1.  I would change your winbind separator.  I think it's confusing if you
use the default '\'.  To do this add a line to your winbind segment that
says:

	winbind separator = +

2.  In my experience with "Secret is Bad", I had a 90% fix rate when I did
the following

	Deleted all files under %sambaroot%\private
	Re-created the samba machine account using:
%sambaroot%\bin\smbpasswd -a -m MACHINENAME$
	Delete the computer account in the domain using Server Manager
	Re-joined the domain using:  %sambaroot%\bin\smbpasswd -j DOMAINNAME
-r PDCNAME
	Then check the secret again.

As soon as you get your secret to report back good, it should stop asking
you for username and password.

Hope this helps !!

groups also is working fine it shows all NT user stats. I shall attach my
smb.conf

# Global parameters

      template homedir = /samba/shares/%D/%U
      template shell = /bin/sh
      guest account = ftp

      comment = For testing only, Please
      path = /samba/shares/test
      username = SOME_DOMAIN\user1,user1
      valid users = SOME_DOMAIN\user1,SOME_DOMAIN\user2,SOME_DOMAIN\user3
      admin users = SOME_DOMAIN\user1,SOME_DOMAIN\user3
