"is NOT known to account management" I get this error in my logs. I am running samba 3.0.1 in a windows 2000 domain, running in legacy mode. I have joined the domain, I can browse the domain from the linux client. However, I have problems accessing the shares on this box. I am running redhat 9. Here is my config file: [global] workgroup = truss server string = samba server hosts allow = 192.168.0. 192.168.1. 192.168.1. 127. printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = cups log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 1024 security = domain password server = server ; password level = 8 ; username level = 8 encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd ; ssl CA certFile = /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* pam password change = yes ; username map = /etc/samba/smbusers obey pam restrictions = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 ; interfaces = 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24 remote browse sync = 192.168.0.1 remote announce = 192.168.0.255 ; local master = no ; os level = 33 ; domain master = yes ; preferred master = yes ; domain logons = yes ; logon script = %m.bat ; logon script = %U.bat ; logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U ; wins support = yes wins server = 192.168.0.1 ; wins proxy = yes guest ok = yes guest account = root dns proxy = yes ; preserve case = no ; short preserve case = no ; default case = lower ; case sensitive = no winbind separator = + idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes template homedir = /home/winnt/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 map to guest = root ; [netlogon] ; comment = Network Logon Service ; path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon ; guest ok = yes ; writable = no ; share modes = no ;[Profiles] ; path = /usr/local/samba/profiles ; browseable = no ; guest ok = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no printable = yes [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp writeable = yes invalid users = %S [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/samba guest ok = yes writeable = yes printable = no write list = @staff [root directory] path = / writeable = yes [c$] path = /c$ writeable = yes guest ok = yes Thanks, James
