On friday we changed our smb.conf file to test the security model that uses DOMAIN authenticacion. It worked fine testing two seperate usernames from Multiple Workstations connecting to a WORLD access share on the SAMBA server. I have to say nothing has changed at all since friday, apart from the weekend :) and we now get this MS error message when trying to connect the same share again from WINDOWS: "The account is not authorized to log in from this station" Just to confirm that on both WorkStations no network shares existed when we tried again today? Should I update to the latest version of SAMBA and include the and/or parameter Trusted Domains = yes wlthough I believe this is default (we are in a trusted DOMAIN)????? This is an example of our smb.conf file: ++++++++++ Our Version = Samba 2.2.0 on Solairs 8.0 # BROWSING workgroup = VTC server string = mn01m0008.agere.com announce as = NT local master = no preferred master = no domain master = no os level = 33 wins server = 135.149.49.50 remote announce = 135.149.49.50 # AUTHENTICATION password server = * # security=server security = domain # encrypt passwords = yes ++++++++++ Any help would be truly GREAT, even the NT boyz are stumped??????
