Description Simon-Pierre LeBel 2005-08-26 06:17:42 UTC
I've been searching around for days to find the clue for the 
NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE, I found that it is wrong user/password. But I've 
discover that if you don't have a hostname set for the server this error 
appears. Comment the line hostname="XXX" form the /etc/rc.conf and no login is 
possible except for anonymous connection. You should notice at startup 
(/usr/local/etc/samba.sh) that no hostname has been set and it will cause 
problems.

Actually, if you explicitly set the 'netbios name' option, 
this should not matter.  I think maybe this is something 
for the FReeBSD package/ports maintainer.  

As a general rule, Samba has to assume a correctly configured OS.
