smbutil...Authentication error
Authored by: andersANDsmith on Aug 28, '02 07:16:57PM

When I try to use the smbutil to check my shares I get the following error:

smbutil: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error
smbutil: could not login to server LOCALHOST: syserr = Authentication error

Any idea what the problem is?
Before I get the error I enter : 'smbutil view //localhost' and is asked for a 'Domain'.

I've tried different alternatives (just hitting enter or the actual domain name from the network I'm on) and then the 'password', but it keeps giving me the same error.

any help would be greatly appreciated

You have to check "Allow user to log in from Windows" in your user account. It's in System Prefs:Accounts at the bottom.

Also, I had to switch my network setting to pure DHCP, rather than manual configuration to get my Audiotron to see my music shares.
