samba - Feb 2002 - samba 3.0 -

How do I interpret what this mean?

@"prfmstrt2+Domain Users"

What is prfmstrt2?  Is that a group created in /etc/group or the domain
name?  I take it the +
is a winbind seperator.  

I modified the separator to be + instead of /, which it appears as by
default because everybody seems to be using + for some reason (I thought
that was for nis).  My domain is INS.  I tried to use @"INS+Domain
Users" in
my share (e.g., 

read list = @"INS+Domain Users"

but it fails.  wbinfo -u/-g displays domain users and domain groups.  getent
passwd returns what is in my /etc/passwd file only.  I think it is supposed
to show domain users too.  The only way I can get this working is to make a
domain user in /etc/passwd, a user group in /etc/group and assign the domain
user from /etc/passwd to the /etc/group.  I then have to use:

read list = @users

Do I still need to do something extra to get winbindd to work?  I am using
alpha15.  Will that fix the problem with not being able to use @"INS+Domain
Users"?

Hi David, did you check my configuration files???

Answer to your questions:

1- All daemons were stopped.
2- Same problem, couldn't find a suitable server.
3- Yes, they are.
4- Yes, I can ping both of them.
5- Yes, I can.

Please, help me. Thanx...

I will have a look at your files.  Side questions:

Did you stop all samba daemons before running the net rpc. (stop smbd nmbd
winbindd).
Did you run net rpc join with the -U option?  What happened?
Are the password servers you listed your pdc and bdc servers?
Does your samba server have the ability to ping your wins server and pdc/bdc
servers?
Can you nmblookup your pdc/pdc servers?

David
