Running: SAMBA 2.2.3 on RedHat Linux 7.2 with 2.4.18-rc4 kernel. SAMBA was running great for over a year for our company up until about 2 weeks ago, then random machines (all win2k) were unable to log in to the domain. For a while we thought it was user based but now it seems to follow the machine rather than the username. We have roaming profiles setup and SAMBA as our PDC. I've tried to find what's causing the machine to have problems but there seems to be no log when they try to log in. My log settings are: log level = 2 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 5000 The real confusion is I can log this username on to other machines and it work, or I can unplug his network card, log him in using the cached version on his machine, then plug in the network cable again and now he is able to access all of his shares and printers. Printers give an error message saying unable to print, but the job still arrives at the printer. We've tried removing and readding his smb user and machine, but that doesn't seem to work either. Any suggestions or help? This is a big problem for me as one of the machines that is unable to login is our company owner, and is threatening to for a win2k Domain on us if it doesn't get fixed by the end of the week.
