Description Anoop Pudhukode 2004-10-26 15:33:28 UTC

I have problems connecting to samba server from my client machine, both machines
run linux and in the server I have Version 3.0.0-14.3E and in the client machine
I have Version 3.0.7-1.3E

From my client I am trying to use smbclient to get to the home directory of user
qatest and this is what I get.
[root@anoop-laptop2 anoop]# smbclient \\\\192.168.20.151\\qatest -U qatest
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

But I keep checking the /var/log/messages and see these messages going on and on,

Can you tell me what the problem is, this is pretty urgent with regards to our
product development.

Comment 1 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2004-11-11 13:58:36 UTC

You need to look at a level 10 debug log on the server 
to find out out what the failure is.  I don't see a source 
level bug here.  There's not enough information.

And I'm now sure by what you mean when you state 

     "this is pretty urgent with regards to our product 
      development."

Comment 2 Anoop Pudhukode 2004-11-19 17:58:43 UTC

Today I was ablt to figure out at which point the problem is getting created. In
one of my modules I replace all system calls and it is when I replace pwrite
system call that I get the proble. In var log messages I see the following.
Nov 19 16:25:35 localhost su(pam_unix)[10115]: session opened for user root by
anoop(uid=500)
Nov 19 16:26:47 localhost kernel: In pwrite: retVal=-22

Nov 19 16:26:55 localhost smbd[10189]:   tdb(/var/cache/samba/sessionid.tdb):

Nov 19 16:26:58 localhost kernel: In pwrite: retVal=-22

Nov 19 16:26:58 localhost smbd[10193]:   tdb(/var/cache/samba/sessionid.tdb):

Please not the return value from pwrite is -22. This problem does not happen
when I dont replace the system call. When I replace the call I just pass the
parameters again to the original syscall handler and it should call the original
one.

Comment 3 Anoop Pudhukode 2004-12-17 14:57:00 UTC

Problem was something else. I fixed my module. There was nothing wrong with Samaba.

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
