I have a client that is using a RedHat 7.0 server, running samba. I have four PC's that are able to login to the server, but when I added a laptop to the domain I get an error saying that either my password has been typed incorrectly or the server is rejecting the login attempt. I am 110% sure that the password and username are correct. Does anyone have an idea about what could possibly be wrong with this thing?

I know this is a simple suggestion, but it usally the smiply ones that work. =)

Try making sure that the user and password on the linux box are all in lower case and that the users is typing them in lower case. Turn off that evil old Caps lock...

Hope it helps.

Good Luck!

Hi, is the package for Laptops installed on the server ? I am fairly new to Linux myself but, seems logical to me.

HTH,

Best Regards,

You did not mention what operating system the
other four systems were using. Does the
username and passwd work on the other systems.

Is the samba server set up to use encrypted
passwords.

Try using the net logon command from a dos
windowit might give you an error that will help.

Try one of the username and passwords that
works on one of the workstations

Are you using a host file with the ip address and netbios name, check the file /etc/hosts if the ip addresses of the other 4 pc are in there add the laptop ip address and the computer name to the file save and restart the samba server.
