I successfully installed opensolaris 2009.06 and installed and enabled the kernel cifs server. I added the line onto /etc/pam.conf to have the passwd command also change the smb passwords. I have configured and enabled various zfs trees to be shared out in workgroup mode, to 6 user ids. The problem is, that only 5 of them work. They were all setup the same way, but one particular user, neil, always has a password error, the others work perfectly. The error shows like this (vault is my opensolaris server):
[ngorsuch at cabinet ~]$ smbclient -U neil -I 192.168.1.7 //vault/media Enter neil's password: session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) I have removed and re-added the user neil, I have changed neil's password, and even watched the /var/smb/smbpasswd being changed when I execute the "passwd neil" command. The other user ids work perfectly, I have tried changing their passwords, they continue to work with the new passwords. Any ideas? The only thing that looks fishy to me is that the numeric ids don't seem to match up between the /etc/passwd and /var/smb/smbpasswd files, but I have no experience with opensolaris so I don't know if that's significant.
