Hi there! I have a Mac Mini running Mac OS 10.4.11 and one of the user accounts that connects from a windows laptop has stopped working, i.e. when you try to access the user's home folder from the windows machine the username and password are rejected.
The account is a full user account on the Mac and it has the same username and password as the account on the windows machine. I am able to log onto the SMB file shares on the Mac from the Windows machine with a different username and password, so I know that samba is running ok. I am able to log onto the Mac itself using the username and password that are rejected when you try to connect to the samba file shares from a windows machine, so I know that the password is correct. Also, this used to work, so it's not like I haven't ever managed to get onto the samba file shares with this username/password. I tried to use smbpasswd to reset the smb password in case it had somehow been changed and no longer matched the OS X password and I got the following: root# smbpasswd <username redacted> New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: [-14200]add_record_attributes: authenticate_node error odssam_update_sam_account: [-14200]add_record_attributes Failed to modify entry for user <username redacted>. Failed to modify password entry for user <username redacted> Any ideas as to what might be going on? If there's any more info that would be useful, please let me know. Thanks in advance for your valuable time. -- Matt Jones -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
