hi list, ill using samba with pam an mysql with the following smb.conf: [global] log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m log level = 10 syslog = 10 workgroup = Workgroup server string = samba file services at WORKGROUP-NAME security = User #must be set to 'no' to use PAM encrypt passwords = No # update encrypted = No allow trusted domains = Yes [samba] path = /home/samba valid users = root,user1 writeable = Yes ========================now, i can auth with `smbclient -L localhost -U user1 -W WORKGROUP` without any problems and pam is working fine. But when i try to connect with a windows machine (same workgroup and user) the host is not able to connect to that server. only when i set encrypt passwords = Yes but in that case samba did not use the pam auth, only the own smbdpassdb. Do i have to set another config option to? thanks luke
