Hi! We have two workgroups in our organization. One ACT and the other ACTLINUX. The ACT workgroup is authenticated by an WinNT domain server (on HP eServer Series). And ACTLINUX workgroup is the Samba Server. I am using samba 2.2.1a, on a Red Hat 7.2 distribution installed Machine. and the network domain logons are controlled by the WinNT machine. (This contains all the users list and the same is duplicated on the Linux machine.) I am not using any subnets. My smb.conf file has been described below. In this I have created individual shares for each user using include = smb.conf.%U Now when I try and connect to the ACTLINUX workgroup, going via Windows Explorer to My Network Places ->Entire Network->Microsoft Windows Network. This shows the two workgroups ACT and ACTLINUX. But when I open the Samba Server in the ACTLINUX workgroup only those shares created in the smb.conf file are visible and those for the User created dynamically by calling the approprite smb.conf.%U file are not visible. This problem does not occur when I go directly to the ACTLINUX workgroup shortcut I have created on my desktop. PLEASE HELP... Gagneet The smb.conf and smb.conf.gagneet files.
