local users required when using domain authentication?
Hi all, I'm using Samba-2.0.7 on Solaris 7, as a domain member, in a domain controlled by a Samba-2.2.0alpha0/Linux PDC. The Solaris box serves just a single share, not homes. I'd like this share to be available to every user who is authenticated by the domain. Joining the domain works fine. I have the share defined as follows: [temp] comment = testshare path = /mnt/tmp writable = yes public = yes The question is, do I need to have local users defined on the Solaris box to match the domain users? According to DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt, there will in the future be support for this (`appliance mode'?). Under the setup above, I don't need to define local users, and despite the `public=yes', users must be authenticated by the domain to gain access. However, I've tried to replicate this setup with an NT4 PDC and a Solaris 8 box running Samba-2.0.7. The Solaris box will allow domain-authenticated users to list the shares, but not to connect to a share, /unless/ that user exists as a local user. Any ideas? Chris.
