Hi!
We have two workgroups in our organization. One ACT and the other
ACTLINUX. The ACT workgroup is authenticated by an WinNT domain server (on
HP eServer Series). And ACTLINUX workgroup is the Samba Server. I am using
samba 2.2.1a, on a Red Hat 7.2 distribution installed Machine. and the
network domain logons are controlled by the WinNT machine. (This contains
all the users list and the same is duplicated on the Linux machine.) I am
not using any subnets.
My smb.conf file has been described below. In this I have created
individual shares for each user using
include = smb.conf.%U
Now when I try and connect to the ACTLINUX workgroup, going via Windows
Explorer to My Network Places ->Entire Network->Microsoft Windows Network.
This shows the two workgroups ACT and ACTLINUX. But when I open the Samba
Server in the ACTLINUX workgroup only those shares created in the smb.conf
file are visible and those for the User created dynamically by calling the
approprite smb.conf.%U file are not visible.
This problem does not occur when I go directly to the ACTLINUX workgroup
shortcut I have created on my desktop.
PLEASE HELP...
