Hi,

Just trying to understand my logs, hence two short questions:

#1, from log.samba:

> ntlm_password_check: Interactive logon: NT password check failed for user username

Does "Interactive logon" mean: someone using a workstation to logon? Or 
could it also be an ldap authentication attempt?

#2, from log.samba:

This happens mostly for this workstation p2560$, but also occasionally 
also for some users.

BTW We're very much looking forward to samba 4.7, for the improved 
authentication logging! :-)
