Todd, I experienced a similar problem. I know it sounds trivial... I used the version of Samba that came with the install CD of RHLinux 7.3, and got it running well. Then I read about the bugs and so I upgraded to Samba 2.2.8a. Afterwards, whenever I would make any changes to /etc/samba/smb.conf, I would not see any difference in Samba's behavior. Then I ran testparm and I noticed that it was now using a different smb.conf, located in /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf (!). So I copied /etc/samba/smb.conf to the new location and replaced the original file with a link to the new location, because Webmin likes to edit it in /etc/samba, like I do. :-) Did you traverse the same path I took?

We are running 2.2.8a with NIS and I want samba to emulate a PDC. I have ran down the Unofficial HowTO on this but still come up with this problem. The smb.conf file shows we want to use domain logins (domain logins = yes). The bottom file shows what testparms spits out in the log and domain logins = no in this case. Does anyone have any ideas where its picking up the no? If the smb.conf file says domain logons = yes then why is it picking it up as domain logons = No?
