[Bug 490201] Re: samba fails to open shares because of fixed unknown password

[Stephen Cradock]

Thanks for getting back to me. Here is some additional information:

I'm using an upgraded Lucid install, trying to access the workgroup in
the same machine at this stage.

I had the same problem in (another) Karmic install, but fixed it by
installing system-config-samba and re-setting the password for my user.
I do not recall setting a password, and the password was not any that I
remember using for any purpose. I don't know what it was, but I could
reset it.

For some reason that doesn't work in Lucid. Trying to reset fails, the
old password reappears when I query again in s-c-samba.

Here is some of the information requested in the Wiki:

dpkg-query -W -f='${Package} ${Version} ${Source} ${Status}\n' grep samba
grep 2.5.4-4  install ok installed
samba 2:3.4.3-1ubuntu1  install ok installed


sc at sc-laptop:~$ smbclient //workgroup/joana-pc
Enter sc's password:
