ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and mirror sites. when using domain user map, when logging in and then accessing the samba server, i re-enabled map_nt_and_unix_username() to allow the nt username to be remapped to the unix username / share. i think i also now have the GETDC request with enough correct rules in it to allow all the various spurious combinations to be supported. NT 5 wks now can be joined to domain; Nso can NT4 wksta; USRMGR findd the DC; even dial-up access correctly finds the domain! i am not sure about win9x, though. there have been a couple of reports of user password changes failing. one report of profiles working correctly, i still can't get it, though, which is still bugging me. printing still out, except for that report of making a direct connection, successfully. luke <a href=" mailto:lkcl@samba.org" > Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton </a> <a href=" http://cb1.com/~lkcl" > Samba and Network Development </a> <a href=" http://samba.org" > Samba Web site </a> <a href=" http://mcp.com" > Macmillan Technical Publishing </a> ISBN1578701503 DCE/RPC over SMB: Samba and Windows NT Domain Internals
