Could you set "log level = 9" and attach the log from a session where is fails (before running smbpasswd -a to unblock it).
It looks like a corruption of the passwd.tdb where is would refuse the login after a given time. Any logic in when the problem triggers ? At the first reconnection, after a reboot of the server, after N days ? Is smbpasswd -a all it takes to unblock it, or do you have to restart the server as well ? ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Medium -- samba server requires smbpasswd -a user constantly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566560 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
