what name are you logining in your windows box with? you can change that name and/or map user names for your samba account. under global "username map = /etc/samba/users.map" and in users.map [unix name] = "my name" james -----Original Message----- From: Andrew McRobert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2000 11:43 PM To: Debian-Users (E-mail) Subject: help! ... doin' the samba hi, I've had this problem for a while and can't seem to get around it ... When a normal user tries to change his/her passwd using smbpasswd or SWAT, they get the following error: "machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the session setup. Error was : ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.). Failed to change password for mcrobert" ... but the users are contained in the smbpasswd file & the /etc/passwd file. What's happenin' here???!!? I'm using a bare bones smb.conf file: shown below: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from [my machine] # Date: 2000/06/19 12:43:05 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = interfaces = [machine's IP]/22 127.0.0.1 encrypt passwords = Yes debug level = 2 guest account = [homes] browseable = No [mcrobert] path = /home/mcrobert writeable = Yes [jlange] path = /home/temp ... the relevant lines from the /var/log/smb file (at log-level 2) are: [2000/06/19 12:37:01, 2] param/loadparm.c:do_section(2481) Processing section "[homes]" [2000/06/19 12:37:01, 2] param/loadparm.c:do_section(2481) Processing section "[mcrobert]" [2000/06/19 12:37:01, 2] param/loadparm.c:do_section(2481) Processing section "[jlange]" [2000/06/19 12:37:01, 2] lib/interface.c:add_interface(83) added interface ip=134.115.227.50 bcast=134.115.227.255 nmask=255.255.252.0 [2000/06/19 12:37:01, 2] smbd/server.c:main(746) Changed root to / [2000/06/19 12:37:01, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(97) netbios connect: name1=127.0.0.1 name2= [2000/06/19 12:37:01, 2] smbd/connection.c:utmp_claim(560) utmp_claim: conn NULL [2000/06/19 12:37:01, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(988) Username is invalid on this system [2000/06/19 12:37:01, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(408) Closing connections thanks a lot for any help!!
