[Samba] session setup failed: ERRHRD

[Staffan Emrén]

Hi all,

Here is the situation:

I have a W2k AD server, authenticating the users. The main file areas is
on another server running Fedora Core 2 and samba 3.0.14a, I have a
bunch of win2k and winxp workstations, that works fine. Now I am
experimenting with a linux workstation, but I can't get it to connect
the shares from the samba server. There are some shares on the W2k
server as well, and I can connect to them without problems. The
workstation is running Fedora Core 4 with the stock smb client tools
included in the distro.

Here is the output from smbclient when run with debug level 10:

16054: session setup failed: ERRHRD - ERRgeneral (General failure.)
SMB connection failed

If anyone knows about this error, and how to resolve it, I will be most
grateful. I have googled on the error message, and found a german page
with a solution (add the workgroup= option), but that didn't work out
for me.

Best regards,
