Hello, 

I Get some strange errors with mount_smbfs... 

I'm working in a Network with a NT4 PDC and 
a SAMBA 2.2.2-Server on FreeBSD 4.5 RC1. 

The Samba-Server is joined to the NT-Domain 
via smbpasswd -j <NT-Domain>. 

Mounting the Shares on the Samba Server works 
fine from a W2K Workstation. But now I tried 
to set up a FreeBSD Client to use the shares 
on both, the NT4 PDC and the Samba with the 
same username and password. mounting shares 
on the NT4 machine works out again fine, but 
no way with the Samba Server. I don't think, 
it's a Problem of Samba, because if I set up 
a test-user on the Samba with a simple 
lower-case password, I'm able to mount shares 
on the Samba-Server. 

I think, it's a case conversion problem, 
because the difference between the two 
accounts used on Samba is, that the 
Account which doesn't work has: 
an uppercase letter at the beginning of the 
username (e.g. Mydomuser). The other user, 
that works out with Samba has a complete 
lowercase username (e.g. test). 

Mounting a Samba share with the uppercase 
usename throws the following error:

mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: 
syserr = Authentication error. 

Does anybody know anything about this, and
how to fix it?

thx,
W. A. Kraushaar
