users, valid users and NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

Well, if you think you’ve configured well your samba share and you keep getting, after being authenticated:

revision:~# !smb
smbclient -U design //revision/design -W REVISION
Password:
Domain=[REVISION] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

Then, change all ‘valid users’ with ‘users’ in your smb.conf.

I mean, SWAT keep talking about ‘valid users’, but… it seems it is valid no longer.

Sigh. Open source.
