[rhn-users] Remote file access problems

I have four Linux boxes connected to a fifth Linux server.  The fifth 
box is my "file server".

I recently installed RHEL 3 and have the following problems connecting 
to the file server:

Using Samba:

I get a password error anytime I attempt to mount.  The error is:

11082: session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - 
name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
SMB connection failed

 From any other machine, using the same fstab file, it all works fine. I 
suspect it is a password encryption issue.  But Samba password 
encryption is disabled on the file server.  Only the RHEL 3 machine hs 
this problem.

Is there something I am missing about turning off password encryption on 
a client machine?

The other problem has to do with nfs.  I am not able to access a 
particular sub-directory on an nfs attached directory.  All other 
sub-directories and files can be accessed.  I see nothing different 
about the owner, group or attributes.

This problem shows up for all machine attempting to connect to the file 
server.  So it must be a problem with the nfs server.  All user rights 
seem to be correct.  As other files and directories with the same 
attributes are accessible.

Any ideas?

TIA,
  Emmett
