Hi everyone. I have a problem at my company where i want a linux box to authenticate at our companies W2k-Server and offer some user home direcories as shares to the windows-network. Authentication works well using winbind so every user known to the W2k-Server can log into the machine. I have modified the necesary files in pam.d for this. Unfortunately when the winbind daemon is running the shares are not accessible from the windows network. When stoping the winbind daemon the shares are visible and the users homedirectories are usable. So there seems to be some destructive interference between samba and winbind, both taken from a precompiled samba-3.0alpha21 rpm for SuSE 8.1 that i found in the people directory tree on suses ftp-server. So as you already have guessed the linux-Box is a SuSE 8.1-System. Any ideas on this? I can give some more information if the problem is not obvious, but let's try it this way first. Regards Jens Nie
