[Samba] valid user and password authentication using smbpasswd

[Xu, Ying (Houston)]

I have a very simple samba setup on one of the solaris servers.  Only
pwxuser is allowed to access a share. I have created a passwd entry for
it using smbpasswd.  I verified on another solaris server that pwxuser
could access the share via "smbclient \\\\server\share -U pwxuser"
However, I wasn't able to access to the share from windows XP.  I need
to change the user when mapping the drive.  According to the log, it
doesnt seem to use smbpasswd file at all.  I have several similar
configuration on other solaris servers and they work file.


bash-3.00# cat /etc/sfw/smb.conf
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 172.30.102.139 (172.30.102.139)
# Date: 2009/06/08 13:39:02

[global]
        security = SHARE
        restrict anonymous = 2
        log level = 3
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        ldap ssl = no

[infa_shared]
        path = /app/informatica/PowerCenter/server/infa_shared
        valid users = pwxuser
        read only = No

What might be the issue?  

Thanks
