Hi, My config is : linux mandrake 7.1 with openldap 1.2.11 All is ok. I was using the pam_ldap module on my linux system to authenticate user for samba connections, it is ok on a windows95 system to connect to a share connection on the linux server across openldap, but when I migrate my machine on win2000 Pro it says for the connection : "the machine is not autorized to connect on this host" !! (??) (I' ve not changed anything of configs) What could happen? Is it possible to connect with a windows 2000 pro machine on a linux samba share across openldap ? Is this a openldap or Samba question ? I don' t know ... ... windows is borring me I dream of a compatible world, y dream ... Xavier mailto: xpoirier@ch-bourg01.fr
