passwords - Access Linux Samba-Share from Snow Leopard


I have a linux machine with a samba-share. Other windows machines can access that samba-share no problem. Now I have a new MacBook running Snow Leopard and I have no clue on how to access it. In finder it shows the linux-machine, but I have no idea how to access it. In some blog it said that this:


`smbclient -U  -L `

can be used to list samba-shares. When I do it, I get


`session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE`

I am at a loss here. Any help on how to approach that problem would be appreciated. Can you provide some hints or point me to some good howto?


EDIT Ok, I am stupid. It was configuration error on the samba-server, I mixed up the passwords.


Answer



As suggested by @quack quixote I post my own answer here. The problem was that I simply forgot that you can have a Samba manages its users independently from the system, accounts with the same name can have different passwords. I set the passwords to be the same, and now it works.
