Hi folks I've finally got round to upgrading a RH7.2 system and I'm having a problem with Samba. I've set the following non-default values (copied from old config): workgroup = LEEDS server string = Ringways Network Server security = share passdb backend = smbpasswd local master = yes domain master = yes wins support = yes debug pid = yes debug uid = yes debug timestamp = yes debug hires timestamp = yes debug level = 3 and have a homes section of: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes hide dot files = yes I've experimented with variations of: force user = %u valid users = %u users = %u username = %u path = /home/%u and using %S and %U. Accessing normal shares works fine, but trying to access any of the [homes] fails with: [root@larry2 ~]# smbclient -U igaunt //larry2/igaunt Password: Domain=[LEEDS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23c-1.fc5] Server not using user level security and no password supplied. tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD [root@larry2 ~]# The log shows: [2006/10/12 10:52:44.801731, 3, pid=2176, effective(0, 0), real(0, 0)] smbd/oplock.c:init_oplocks(862) open_oplock_ipc: initializing messages.
