I've followed the usual steps for adding a new user to Samba:
- create new Linux user with
useradd [user] - set its password with
passwd [user] - set its Samba password with
smbpasswd -a [user]
But when I try to connect to my server with this user, I always get some form of "authentication failed" on the clients, and NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD in the server logs. (The password is correct, and is the same password between both the Linux and Samba users.) The same problem happens on every subsequent Linux/Samba user I try creating, and persists after several reboots.The weird part is, I can still log in to the share using my own linux user without any issues; just not with the new user(s). I've tried pretty much everything, including disabling every single security measure e.g. NTLMv1 (although i was still able to log in with NTLMv2 using my own linux user) and setting all shares to public. Could anyone help me figure this out? I can provide logs if requested.
(I'm on Xubuntu 22.04 with Samba version 4.15.5-Ubuntu)
