Yesterday I reinstalled my server, because of some hardware issues. Among the programs I reinstalled is Samba. I successfully configured Samba the last time, it let me use a network share with no problems. But now when I want to open a share on my server, it asks me to type in a username/password combination, while the username and password on both the FreeBSD box and my Windows XP box are the same. When I type in the username and password, it gives the error as you can see in the attached file. I went to the log.<windows_box_name> file, and there I saw the following error, each time I tried logging in:
I don't understand why it's trying to authorise user nobody, while I type in the username of glenn.
Of course I first did 'smbpasswd -a glenn' to make the user in the Samba environment (with the same password as my Windows box).
security has been set to user and password encryption has been set on yes.
I am lost, maybe someone can help me?
