[Samba] New Users wont authenticate.

[Khanh Tran]

First, I'd try to see if one of those initial 3 users can log into the Win9x
box.  That would eliminate network issues and such.  Then I'd see if you
could telnet, SSH, FTP, etc to the box to see if it's a problem limited to
the unix password or samba password files...

Subject: [Samba] New Users wont authenticate. 


Im using Samba 2.2.7a  on my RH7.3 box. The 3 users I have had on the system
work flawlessly, but when I add a new user (userconf,  adduser, smbpasswd
-a) the system takes the user, it exists in both PSSWD files, but won't
allow logging on from the Win9x box. 
I look in /var/log/messages and it doesn't tell me anything, nor do my
etc/samba/log.smbd-nmbd files, is there a particular switch or configuration
in smb.conf that tells it to update the /etc/pamd/passdb file? 
I feel this is one of those "cant see the forest for the trees" situations,
any assistance is appreciated.
