Hello sambalist, Sorry to bother you, but I'm running into a problem and after seeking the net for 10 days now I still found no answer :( Basicly it seems that winbindd won't start, no PID, no nothing. When I start it with "-d100" I get a veeeery long output terminating in "uid invalid or missing". Running v.2.2.7 on RH8.0 smb.conf states winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 I'm not posting the log as it's pretty long if needed please advise. A big thanx to whoever is willing to help me... RVK
