I'm running smbclient on Ubuntu, trying to connect to a Windows box, and I'm getting "session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE".
I've verifed that I can ping the box and telnet to ports 139/445, so I'm pretty sure that it's not a firewall issue. And my client says that they can connect to this Windows box from another Windows box with the userid/password combination without issue. Also, this box can connect via smbclient to other Windows boxes that this client has.
Any other ideas for why this isn't working?

You can also use the
-W
option to specify the workgroup, and addDOMAIN/
before your username to specify the domain:Hope this helps!
