Well there could be many reasons ssh root login (that should be denied by default) for example. I just started running FreBSD and I was setting up Samba when this occurred. Do you mean the samba password is incorrect? Please be somewhat more clear! Please help!

Reboot the system by hitting ctrl+alt+delete, while it's booting back up, press space bar when you see the press enter to boot or ... and before it finishes counting down. (You don't mention which version of FreeBSD you're using, but FreeBSD 5 has a spiffy menu here where you can just select a menu item for single-user mode) At the prompt, enter boot -s to boot into single- user mode. When asked for a default shell, just hit enter to accept the default. Once you have a shell prompt, enter fsck -y and then mount -a. Now you're logged in and can execute commands as root. Enter passwd user to change the password for user. If you omit user, you'll change the root password. good luck. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are you saying you're getting the login error when you try to login in from Windows via smb? If so, this is a completely different problem than the one I gave you a fix for. I am running version 4.9 with KDE desktop. I am trying to set this machine up as a simple file server. Can you log in to KDE? I get message containing nmbd[187] as I try to log in. Is there a way to disable or edit smb.conf from single user mode? If really thing this might be part of the source of my problem. I'm not sure, but I don't think your problem is with FreeBSD, but with Samba. Take a look at some of these docs: http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbpasswd.8.html http://us3.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Samba24Hc13.pdf ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/customers/samba/ Note the following additional information: 1) If your problem is with logging in via samba, you'll probably get better assistance posting your question to the samba mailing lists: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/ 2) If your problem is with samba, you'll most likely need to include your smb.conf file in order to get any decent help.

I want to make it so that when I login to my windows xp (uh oh I used the w word in a freebsd list) machine it authenticates from my FreeBSD machine instead of xp. I was thinking perhaps LDAP could do it but I'm not sure. You might ask why...I have no reason...I'm bored and need a new project =) Samba 3.x can operate as a directory controller for a network of windows machines. Active Directory itself is little more than LDAP and Kerberos with a fancy-schmancy front-end and a few niggling changes to make it hard to integrate into a Unix based LDAP+Kerberos setup, but Samba provides the glue that makes that possible.

To get more specific help, you'll need to be more specific in your questions, I'm afraid.
