I compiled samba 2.0.2 on a intel RedHat 5.2 machine successfully. I then set up the machine according to the DOMAIN_MEMBER.html instructions to join my domain. Everything seemed ok so far, i got the message: change_trust_account_password: Changed password for domain INFO. smbpasswd: Joined domain INFO So far OK, right. I set up the smb.conf like this. The options in Global that are commented out has all been tried in various combinations. I use no smbpasswd file as i want the authentification done by ARCH. ARCH and BERMUDA are both NT4sp3 machines. # Global parameters workgroup = INFO netbios name = RUT server string = Byggdoks testsambaserver f<F6>r webben security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = ARCH BERMUDA log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY # domain groups = W3_BD dns proxy = No # wins server = 193.10.7.19 # domain logons = no # hosts allow = 193.10.7. 127.0.0.1 [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba print ok = Yes browseable = No [byggdok] path = /home/httpd/byggdok read only = No [byggtorg] path = /home/httpd/byggtorg read only = No RUT (samba machine) shows up ok in ARCHs and BERMUDAs "server manager" and properties works fine on them and RUT shows upp in the "Network Neighbourhood". Still OK, right. Now the problems starts, when a user on an NT-machine on our network try to access the shares on RUT he gets promted for password and username allthough it works fine on other servers getting their authentication through ARCH and BERMUDA. If I add a user on RUT with smbpasswd -a that user can access the shares but the smbclient then reports that the server is in user mode. Please help. /Roos
