I don't know what information would be helpful. I will give some but also try not to waste bits. I am using LDAP. My username is 'davt01'. I am able to login to my samba pdc just fine. I get these logs when I try to access //server/foobar. Also see below for some relevant configs: [2004/01/28 15:14:37, 3] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(265) check_ntlm_password: sam authentication for user [davt01] succeeded [2004/01/28 15:14:37, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:push_sec_ctx(256) push_sec_ctx(0, 0) : sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 1 [2004/01/28 15:14:37, 3] smbd/uid.c:push_conn_ctx(287) push_conn_ctx(0) : conn_ctx_stack_ndx = 0 [2004/01/28 15:14:37, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:set_sec_ctx(288) setting sec ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 1 [2004/01/28 15:14:37, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:pop_sec_ctx(386) pop_sec_ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0 [2004/01/28 15:14:37, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(302) check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [davt01] -> [davt01] -> [davt01] succeeded [2004/01/28 15:14:37, 3] smbd/password.c:register_vuid(207) User name: davt01 Real name: System User [2004/01/28 15:14:37, 3] smbd/password.c:register_vuid(225) UNIX uid 1001 is UNIX user davt01, and will be vuid 102 [2004/01/28 15:14:37, 3] smbd/password.c:register_vuid(241) Adding/updating homes service for user 'davt01' using home directory: '/home/davt01' [2004/01/28 15:14:37, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_add_home(2321) adding home's share [davt01] for user 'davt01' at '/home/davt01' 2004/01/28 15:14:37, 2] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(384) user 'davt01' (from session setup) not permitted to access this share (davt01) logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 browseable = No [profiles] path = /opt/samba/profiles writeable = yes browseable = no create mode = 0644 directory mode = 0755 guest ok = yes ====Terry __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
