[ILUG] Sharing folders on External USB drive

[Padraig Kitterick]

Okay, so it's likewise that's causing the problem. This suggests that 
there is a domain being specified in your samba config, which really 
shouldn't be set up automatically by the GUI folder sharing tool. Wierd.

First things first add "debug=yes" under '[global]' in 
/etc/security/pam_lwidentity.conf or whatever the path to the conf file 
is and then monitor the logs again. Your problem is either that the PC 
you are trying to access the share from does not have a machine account 
in the AD of the linux machine, or that the samba server is expecting 
username at domain format logins, not just username.

You may want to check out

similar problem.

Good luck,

Padraig.
