I recollect having some problems while upgrading from Samba 3.0.24 to 3.0.25. In my case, however, Samba kept crashing and complained about some corrupt .tdb files. Finally I deleted all the files in /var/db/samba and that fixed it for good. One thing that caught my attention in your snippet is the "uid=0" part. Is your Windows user you are trying to connect as mapping to the Samba machine's root user? The first time I installed Samba I had made some mistakes in the config file and so my Windows user was getting mapped to uid 0 thus getting denied by Samba (coz I had defined root as an invalid user for security reasons). Maybe something like that is your problem? Regards, Rakhesh
