I am using Samba on top of NIS as an authentification server; all data is on a Snap server (Quantum Snap 1000); the SNAP accepts a user list definition from a Windows domain but officially does not support anything not Microsoft (i.e. not Samba PDC) The snap server actually recognizes the Samba PDC but is refused access to the IPC$ share and therefore cannot list all users and groups in the domain. I get the following error messages in the snap server log. 03/20/2002 15:34:51 19 D SMB | SMB : rejected IPC connect (1,67) 03/20/2002 15:34:51 19 W SMB | SMB : Failed to connect to IPC$ on domain controller. 03/20/2002 15:34:51 19 D SMB | SMB : smb_UpdateRemoteUserGroups failed 03/20/2002 15:34:51 19 D SMB | SMB : Failed to enumerate domain groups 03/20/2002 15:35:00 19 D SMB | SMB : rejected IPC connect (1,67) 03/20/2002 15:35:00 19 W SMB | SMB : Failed to connect to IPC$ on domain controller. 03/20/2002 15:35:00 19 D SMB | SMB : FillRemoteUserGroupLists: RetCode=5 03/20/2002 15:35:00 19 D SMB | SMB : rejected IPC connect (1,67) 03/20/2002 15:35:00 19 W SMB | SMB : Failed to connect to IPC$ on domain controller. 03/20/2002 15:35:00 19 D SMB | SMB : FillRemoteUserGroupLists: RetCode=5 The snap server is set up as a workstation trust account on the samba server. Has anyone encourntered similar problems? Can I (and how do I) test access to the IPC$ share via rpcclient? IOs there a setting in smb.conf that disallows such access? (Windows 2000 workstations seem able to list domain users via Windows Explorer, and Control Center | Users). Thanks in advance. Olivier Pichon The Gatonero Project
