Hello, I'm having problems with user names containing a dot. For example "j.smith".
In our network we have Win2K PDC and a Samba server. smb.conf contains this: [global] security = domain password server = MYSERVER username map = /etc/samba/smbusers [myshare] valid users = j.smith write list = j.smith etc... /etc/samba/smbusers file contains this: jsmith = j.smith And Linux box with Samba server has an account for user 'jsmith' (/home/jsmith). So I'm trying to map 'j.smith' (windows user name) to 'jsmith' (linux user name). But the problem is that when I try to access shares on samba server I get NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD. I'm sure the password is entered correctly. [EMAIL PROTECTED] me]$ smbclient //SAMBASRV/webpages -U 'j.smith' added interface ip=10.92.32.33 bcast=10.92.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0 Password: Domain=[MYDOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD and in a log file on samba server I see: [2003/12/16 17:53:39, 0] smbd/password.c:authorise_login(863) authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody ^^^^^^^^^ <-- this is strange! (why nobody?) The same error I get from windows clients. When I intentionally enter wrong password, I get in log file this: [2003/12/16 17:11:50, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1619) domain_client_validate: unable to validate password for user J.SMITH in domain MYDOMAIN to Domain controller MYSERVER. Error was NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD. When I inetntionally enter wrong user name, I get in log file this: [2003/12/16 17:12:02, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1619) domain_client_validate: unable to validate password for user X.SMITH in domain MYDOMAIN to Domain controller MYSERVER. Error was NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER. When I remove 'jsmith = j.smith' from /etc/samba/smbusers and change unix user to 'j.smith', everythig starts working. But I would like to use on Linux usernames without a dot. Thanks for your help, any ideas?
