my first guess (without enough info...) would be the password encryption. windows clients use a scheme where the password is sent as a hash and compared by the server to its own hash. the problem is that it's incompatible with Unix crypt nor MD5. solutions: 1. make the windows machine send cleartext passwords (less secure, look in the samba docs directory for instructions, it means creating a key in the registry and rebooting) 2. create an smbpasswd file on the linux side (man smbpasswd) and keep or don't keep it in synch with the /etc/shadow manually. I like the idea of keeping the CIFS authentications seperate from shell accounts. -- The one Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ This post is encrypted twice with ROT-13.
