Using NT PDC as password server is still not working. Also the binaries that I downloaded from the link on SAMBA web pages do not work on my system. After I unpacked the tar file and moved the binaries to /usr/local/samba/bin and tried to run the program, it gives me "cannot execute, permission denied" error, even though I ran them as root. Here's the extract from my smb.conf [global] workgroup = mydomain browseable = yes share modes = yes guest account = guest domain controller = 172.16.100.100 password server = mypdc security = server log level = 3 log file = /usr3/sambalogs/log.%m password level = 9 encrypted password = yes lock directory = /usr3/sambalocks wins server = mywins strict locking = yes keep alive = 30 [myshare] path = /usr2/myshare browseable = yes public = no read only = no locking = yes mangled names = yes create mode 777 Please Help Than Maung
