I have a redhat9 box running samba 2.2.8a acting as a file server for about
12 computers.
10 are windows 2000, 1 XP-pro, and 1 Win98.
2 users are unable to connect every couple of days.
If I reset their password in linux (not samba) they can get back in for a
day or two.
The 2 usernames are "chris" and "show1"

[root at xxxxxxx root]# smbclient //flr/data -Uchris%password
added interface ip=192.168.2.10 bcast=192.168.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
[root at xxxxxxx root]# 

Now I reset his password to the SAME ONE HE HAS...

[root at xxxxxxx root]# passwd chris
Changing password for user chris.
New password: 
BAD PASSWORD: it is too short
Retype new password: 
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root at xxxxxxx root]# smbclient //flr/data -Uchris%password
added interface ip=192.168.2.10 bcast=192.168.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Domain=[xxxxxxx] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.8a]
smb: \> 

Can anyone help me out here.. I have no idea how this happens to only these
2 machines.



 Take care,
