Error: [EFAULT] Failed to set NT password for <username>: Username not found!

[Muteki]

Hi all,

I'm a new user to TrueNAS Core and have set up my Storage Pool, Datasets, SMB Share and ACLs as per this video.

However when I try to connect to the share I get "The specificed network password is not correct".
Version: TrueNAS CORE Version: TrueNAS-13.1-MASTER


I've tried:

Configuring SMB service for Enable SMB1 support
Configuring SMB service for NTLMv1 Auth
Enabling SMBv1 in Windows
Enabled NTLMv2 in Windows

I also noticed the following error:

smb.synchronize_passdb0.00%

Status: FAILED

Error: [EFAULT] Failed to set NT password for gaz: Username not found!

and tried the following steps listed in this thread:
rm /var/db/system/samba4/private/passdb.tdb midclt call smb.synchronize_passdb -job
but still having the same issue even running this command with or without SMB service enabled:

middlewared.service_exception.CallError: [EFAULT] Failed to set NT password forgaz: Username not found!

Any thoughts here, not sure what to do next!

Using a nightly build isn't exactly a smart way to get to know a new system.

All kinds of things can be broken without notice in the nightlies.

If you want to reinstall with 13.0-U5 and come back if you still have some problems, that would be the right way to go about it.

Noted, I actually inherited this 2nd hand. I have the new image down and will start from scratch.

@sretalla Yep, clean install, working fine - obvious step is obvious! Thanks so much :)

Running TrueNAS-13.0-U5.3 if anyone runs into a similar issue using a nightly.
