A bit of progress: 1. security = user : doesn't switch from "fred" to "nobody", so it can't work since the user isn't mapped to "nobody".
2. security = share : switches from "fred" to "nobody", but Access Denied: <code> check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [nobody] -> [nobody] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE </code> 3. If I add "invalid users = nobody": <code> authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody [2013/10/11 02:01:49.538091, 2] smbd/service.c:655(create_connection_session_info) Invalid username/password for [IPC$] [2013/10/11 02:01:49.540197, 1] smbd/service.c:805(make_connection_snum) create_connection_session_info failed: NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD </code> 4. If I add "null passwords = yes" to the mix: <code> authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody [2013/10/11 02:10:27.700093, 2] smbd/service.c:655(create_connection_session_info) Invalid username/password for [IPC$] [2013/10/11 02:10:27.702215, 1] smbd/service.c:805(make_connection_snum) create_connection_session_info failed: NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD </code> -- View this message in context: http://samba.2283325.n4.nabble.com/3-6-8-XP-fails-with-error-1326-tp4654631p4654833.html Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
