The UNIX users comming in via telnet and ftp will authenticate against the /etc/passwd database, and the NT /WIN2K clients accessing your Samba shares will authenticate against the WIN2K PDC (ie they will use their win2k passwords). YOU WILL need a /etc/passwd entry that matches the username for each NT/WIN2k user that needs to access your samba shares (or do a man on smb.conf and look at the username map parameter, if you want to map the NT usernames to different UNIX usernames), but this is strictly for uid/gid ownership and access of unix files thru samba; the authentication will be done against the Win2k domain controller. Hope this helps, Don -----Original Message----- From: Smith, Donna G [mailto:donna.g.smith@lmco.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 12:36 PM To: 'MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)' Subject: RE: [Samba]SAMBA OK, that worked. Now my question is, I am trying to eliminate using smbpasswd to create password accounts on the samba server. Will joining my samba server to the W2k domain do that for me? I only want to have to worry about a unix password and a w2k password. Not a smbpasswd.

Then try your smbpasswd join again. You might want to change your log level = 10 so that if it fails you can peruse the resultant log file to get a better picture of what's failing at that point...
