[Samba] Authentication problem with Mysql backend

[Collen Blijenberg]

Whoh man...

did you create the unix user-account aswell ??

also try to change these settings:

-> encrypt passwords = YES
-> passdb backend = mysql:mysql
-> #mysql:username column = username:
-> #mysql:lanman pass column = lm_pw:
-> #mysql:nt pass column = nt_pw:
-> #mysql:plain pass column = plain_pw:
-> #mysql:unknown_3 column = NULL

also what version of samba do you use ??
