[Samba] Problems connecting to non-public SAMBA-shares

[Michael P. Dobmeier]

Dear Experts,

I have the following problem and I would be very happy, if someone had an
idea, what to do.

Under SuSE 9.0 I installed a SAMBA-Server to which three Windows-XP Clients
are connecting.

With one XP-Client-PC (client1) no user has any problems to connect to the
public _and_ non-public (user/password-dependent) shares; from the other two
Clients (client2 and client3) nobody can connect to the non-public shares
(here: homes and testshare), but connecting to the public shares (here:
transfer) is also possible here.

The smb.conf is attached to the end of this email and for the sake of
clarity an extract of the log.smb can be found at
http://home.t-online.de/home/M.P.D : the left-side in the table there is the
log of an access from client1, whereas the right side represents an
unsuccessful access from client2. Up to line ... everthing seems to be ok
(IMHO).

Many thanks in advance,

Michael
