Ok I solved my problems. It seems that for windows the words workgroup and domain are the same. So you have to have the same name for the domain (domain name in linux) and workgroup = in smb.conf & they have to be set up as so in windows. Now I have a new problem... How do you export the smbpasswd file over NIS? You use the Makefile in the /var/yp directory to create and update maps. There is a line all: in it where you define the maps to share. In my file (SuSE 7.1) there is a commented line with all the possible maps there are to make. But there isn't one for the smbpasswd file. Any ideas?

It is a very large security hole due to the clear text nature of LanMan/NT hashes and NIS. cheers, jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- www.samba.org SAMBA Team jerry_at_samba.org www.plainjoe.org jerry_at_plainjoe.org --"I never saved anything for the swim back."
