Hi All, I have been scouring the net after coming to a halt whilst following this tutorial http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/DomApps.html and eventually thought I'd subscribe to the list for some help and advice. I am basically setting up a test box to get Squid to authenticate users via Active Directory, I have had a few issues which I have sorted out but this still has me stumped. The server has authed with the main AD and I can get info when running wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g but moving onto the next stage where I use ntlm_auth I receive this error: [root@proxy-new ~]# /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --username=andy --domain=WILTS.LOCAL password: could not obtain winbind separator! Reading winbind reply failed! (0x01) : (0x0) I've tried changing winbind separator with a / and * and also left it out as it defaults to / ? but still receive this error, I expect I am overlooking something completely but been a few hours now and head bashing is not far around the corner. Running testparm as below hopefully will give you any details you need and if you require any other info please just ask! Running RHEL5 with samba-3.0.23c-2 - Running this under VMWare if that makes any difference.

The error you are seeing indicates to me that winbindd is not running, so we couldn't ask it that question.
