The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE with Samba users

Asked by klukac in Linux Networking

Tags: ,

I got feedback from the Linux users group on making a samba password file in /etc/samba, then adding users - that was helpful, because I had been looking for that in the Samba documentation and couldn't find it.  I'm working with Samba as packaged with the Linux RedHat 8.0
rpm-qa | grep samba shows samba 2.2.7-5.8.0 plus -client and -common, so it doesn't look like anything is missing.

Unfortunately, when I try to connect to my linux client with smbclient //hostname/username, I get NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE after typing the user password

testparm shows no errors, and smbclient -L hostname shows local shares on my linux box -
when I type the root password at the prompt to see local shares, the root password is accepted.

But the user passwords are rejected. Tried rebooting, also installed webmin - assume there's a sync problem somewhere, but webmin has way more features than I'm prepared to use right now.

Also tried installing swat
I created a swat file in xinetd.d and added/enabled tcp port 901, but the server path in the swat file is not correct - I couldn't find a bin directory under samba, not sure why.

I feel a long way off from connecting to other PCs on my LAN, help out if you can :)
