Interestingly, if I force authentication with the correct username using (on the XP box) net use \\guava\$ /user:XXXX\geoff.winkless everything works fine, which suggests that XP is defaulting to sending the "wrong" information. Upping the debug level does confirm that XP doesn't send the username in the authentication packets. Is there some machine-trust mechanism that XP is trying to make use of that samba doesn't understand? Should samba be returning "I don't understand that, what's your username??" to the XP client, rather than trying to read the machine name as a username? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
