I have finally configured Samba as a PDC, I can log in correctly and map shares. However to get the log in process to work I had to specify 'guest ok = yes' in [global] and supply a 'guest account' as I don't have a 'nobody' account. I do not want these settings and from the docs I should not have to have them to log in. In smbstatus it shows the logged in user using the shares, but it still shows the guest account using the IPC$ service. Any thoughts? Jason Valenzuela
