Hello all! I have a strange one that I really need help with: I have samba p8 running on SCO Unix openserver 5.0.4. The rest of our network is Windows 95/NT 4.0 with our domain called 'SABINMETAL'. One of the NT workstations (named HELM with a user called steve) was working, but now it is doing the following: if steve logs onto the SABINMETAL domain, he cannot get to the Unix server through network neighboorhood. if steve logs onto the HELM domain, he can get to the Unix server, but he can't map his home directory. if I log onto the same machine onto the SABINMETAL domain, I can get to the Unix server. if steve logs onto the SABINMETAL domain on a different machine, he can get to the Unix server. The only really bad combination is steve logging into the SABINMETAL domain from his machine. I NEED help with this one. Is it samba? or is it NT permissions? HELP?!?!?! Thanks. Ed Garbowski

On our NT machines, there is a difference between logging in as a local user (with the domain name set to the machine name), or logging in as a network domain user. To NT4, it seems, these are two different users. This may sometimes be a BIG difference, so if the local user has administrator privileges, but the domain user doesn't ... Regards, Martin
