[Samba] Windows XP Home mounting a Samba share on Solaris 10

[Matthew Gork]

I have usccessfully installed Samba-3.0.10 on a Sun
workstation running Solaris 10. I am now trying to
view the shared directory on a laptop running Windows
XP Home. I am only using Samba for a workgroup share
as I know XP Home can not log on to a domain. I can
see the Samba server on the XP laptop when I selecet
"view workgroup computers". However, when I try to
select the Samba server to view the shared directory I
get a connect popup asking for User name and password.
When I enter the information for the UNIX/Samba
account it just continues to pop back up and does not
allow access.

I have created the UNIX user account on the
workstation and run smbpasswd -a USER amd smbpasswd -e
USER, where USER is the account name.

When reviewing the log.smbd after attempting to
connnect to the Samba server from Windows the
following errors are generated -

The log.mattlaptop contains the following -

I am just running a generic smb.conf file to try and
get this up and running. The contents are -

[global]
        workgroup = PAM
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY 
        security = user 
        hosts allow = pam80, mattlaptop, 192.168.0.
        hosts deny = all
[root]
        path = /
        comment = Solaris root
        guest ok = yes
        read only = yes
[share]
        path = /share
        comment = Solaris share
        browsable = yes
        guest ok = yes
        read only = no


I have also tried manually editing the registry on the
XP machine to enable clear text passwords. It did not
correct the issue and, in fact, made the display of
the samba server in the workgroup somewhat spotty.
Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.

I would greatly appreciate any input as I'm new to
Samba and am trying to go this route rather than using
a third-party windows NFS client.
