Usually it's not good form to answer one's own questions, but I did find the
problem: When I logged in to the Win2k workstation, I had typed my username
with upper and lower case letters (PAHowes). I tried logging in with all
lowercase, to match my FreeBSD login, and all was well.
Thanks any way!

Subject: Samba Configuration
All-
I have come across something rather bizzare. I am hoping that someone can
offer an explanation for the behavior that I am seeing.
First, here is the samba.conf file that I am using:
[global]
netbios name = CATNIP
interfaces = ep0 lo0
encrypt passwords = Yes
hosts allow = 192.168.
[music]
comment = Music Files
path = /home/music
writeable = Yes
The Win2k and FreeBSD username/password combination is identical on all
machines.
Here is the problem: When I try to connect to the samba server, and my
username in /usr/local/private/smbpasswd does NOT have a password, I am able
to connect with no trouble at all. However, if I use the smbpasswd command
to give my username the same password as my FreeBSD and Win2k system, I
cannot connect to it.
Now here's the real kicker -- If my smbpassword is blank, the smbclient
command will not connect to the share, but it will if the smbpassword is the
same as my FreeBSD and Win2k login.
This is very, very strange! If anyone can explain this, and tell me how to
work around it, I would like to know, very much!
Please CC me in e-mail, as I am not yet signed up for this particular
mailing list.
Thank you!
