Re: windows domain and samba passworddomain. Users authenticate to it via username/password that is locally stored on the Samba server. I had assumed what you are saying is true, but the only difference I could find was the domain issue. I'm not saying the domain is the root cause, but I have been suspecting it has something to do with that. The error message I get from Samba is: smb_pam_passcheck: PAM: smb_pam_auth failed - Rejecting User jjtoy In <sh21h2hfveh0q2u9lhgmbvcdp7kf35i***@4ax.com> Chuck wrote: Show quoteHide quote > On Tue, 19 Sep 2006 15:39:38 -0700, Chris <> wrote: > >>I have a samba server that a user is trying to access.

The workgroup member using the local account successfully, the domain member using it but not successfully. Right? Both computers are using the same local account, with identical, non-blank password? -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Both computers are using the same local > account, with identical, non-blank password? > answer, but it feels to me like the domain user and the local user must not appear the same to Linux. Perhaps even though they have the same name the user ID is different. I'm just guessing. Why not try a workaround and create a new user account in Linux and in Samba (as you know, you have to add the user in Samba after first creating the user in the main Linux distro) for the domain user. Call it jjtoy-domain or the like. Then see what happens. I realize this isn't the most wonderful solution because you'd need to create the matching user/pwd in Windows, too. You might want to post in a newsgroup for your distro. Or possibly the gurus in one of the MS server newsgroups will know. I use Samba all the time on my mixed network and have set it up many times for clients using a Linux file server, but I've never had any experience with Samba and a Windows domain. If you do find out, please post the solution because I'd love to know the answer. Malke
