Sometimes browser election wars or other bad things happen. This is opposite to the SAMBA teams recommendations and unfortunately is the default setting in the SMB.CONF including the template that I put in. Remember that Windows NT and 2K passwords are case sensitive, and there must be an existing VMS account to match the client account. In the file (SMBD_STARTUP.COM, IIRC), there is a logical that you can set from "-d4" to "-d99" to get more information in the SMBD.CONF. The SAMBA__GUEST account is always used when an NT or Windows 2000 client connects to a VMS Samba Server, so it must exist. All versions and platforms of SAMBA prior to SAMBA 2.0.7 will have problems with Windows 2000. That is a known issue. It works for some and not for others. I do not know for sure if all of the W2K problems have been solved with SAMBA 2.0.7. A memory leak has been introduced. -John Wb8tyw@qsl.network Personal Opinion Only.
