Hello, I am trying to setup Samba as a fileserver in a Win2k PDC environment. I am using Samba-2.2.2 under linux kernel 2.4.14 patched for XFS. I am doing this so that I can make use of ACLs. winbind is setup and everything works as expected, ie `getent passwd` and `getend group` return all the domain users and groups. Domain users can create files and store their profiles and such. Here is where it gets strange. If I make a public share and put a file in it, that works okay. If I then try and set the permissions for that file from the win2k PDC it works just fine -- I get a list of all the domain uses to choose from just like you would expect and the permissions are set correctly. However, it I try and set the permission from another win2k machine that is on the domain, I get a list of the local users on the linux box! Obviously this is not good. I have been over and over the manuals, google and the mailing lists and have not seen anyone with a similar problem, but surely someone has tried to do this before. I have tried the latest CVS version of 2.2 and that does not fix anything. Thanks, robert -- robert cope \ Don't play dumb with me! You're not as good at it as robert@gonkgonk.com / I am. \

I run a similar setup here (except I use ext2 NOT XFS). It all works well. Can we see your [global] section from smb.conf.
