Samba not authenticating users
 

Hi..

All of sudden a working SAMBA server not allowing to login and deny permission for users to access it shares. When I check I checked the server directory rights are same, find no changes. and smb.conf is also same. when I checked closely I found the following error.

1. smbd.log show the following messages

Googling for this error brings up some potential solutions:

Something, somewhere got changed. It doesn't just stop working. Have you tried to restart Samba and/or reboot the server?
No idea what you mean by this. Do you mean the Xwindows on the console of the samba server isn't working?

Yes, Does XFS have any link with samba. this also fails to start & I had also tried the second URL no improvement
