Hi,

first of all, please avoid HTML mail to mailing lists at all costs. Thank you.

Yes, but you don't say as which user, which is the whole point.

Just to make what others have already written overclear:

NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE = invalid user/pass combination (user does not exist
                          or password incorrect)
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED = user/pass combination valid, but authenticated user
                          has no access

Though, according to what Timothy writes, the matter is more complicated.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Holger
