Samba newbie question. (RESOLVED SUMMARY)
Here is the answer: I had to establish a login on the Sun Unix box for the user with the NT Domain Login. Then, I edited the file /opt/samba/lib/users.map In this file, you put in an equivalence between the Unix login name and the NT login name: unix_login_name = nt_login_name After I did this, the NT user was able to map the Samba share to their machine under their NT login.

Hi all! I am a new admin taking over a Sun box that is running Samba to allow NT 4.0 users to access directories on the Unix box. I recall there being a file that, if I recall correctly, equates NT domain user names with local Unix login names. What/where is that file? The reason I need to know is this: I have a new NT 4.0 user that I need to map a Unix share to. I can right click on My Computer, click "Map Network Drive", find the Unix box running Samba, and I can click on the share. When I do, it asks who to connect as (name, password). If I just hit "OK" it says invalid account for "". However, if I supply MY domain name/password it maps the share just fine. Thus I suspect this user is unknown to the Unix box - I suspect I need to set up an account for him on the Sun box and then let Samba know too. Is this right? Steven E.
