Re: [Samba] NT MD4 password check failed

hi,

check the permission settings on the share or the home directory,

Check your global settings:
logon home = \\%L\%U\.profile
logon drive = H:

and the permissions on the share:
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %U
writeable = yes
browseable = no
read only = no
guest ok = no
printable = no

and it can only be mapped automatically if your PC is the domain
member else you have to go to run and type "\\samba server name" and see
whether you are able to see your home directory.
I used to have this error if the smbpassword is different from the
Linux Local user password.
