This question has been asked many time before but none of the answers seems to
work for me.
I am using Samba as delivered with RH 5. I am able to successfully smbmount
published resources on my Win95 box and to use my Win95-hosted printer. When I
try to view my Linux resources from Network Neighborhood, I am asked for a
password for IPC and cannot get past that point.
Yes, I did set up an account on my Linux box to match the account name used on
the Win95 box. This is even though I have allowed guests access to resources
and created a guest account.
Looking at /var/log/messages file, I see the following error:
PAM-pwdb authentication failure for <account> for samba service"
It knew the account name from the Win95 box but somehow it could not
authenticate it. What piece am I missing?
