Hi, I configured Samba as fileserver+PDC for a network populated by Win2000 clients, starting from a smb.conf I found in a guide and editing it to suit my needs. For example, I removed the [homes] section, because I don't need users to be able to access their Linux home directories, and having that section active caused the home shares to appear in the network neighbourhood tree. Below you can find the relevant options I'm using. Now, everything works fine, but what happens is that each user logon causes lines like these in Samba logs: Mar 18 18:39:05 gpserver smbd[28590]: [2003/03/18 18:39:05, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(252) Mar 18 18:39:05 gpserver smbd[28590]: gp9 (192.168.1.9) couldn't find service mdv "gp9" is the client machine, "mdv" is the user logging in. I suppose this is harmless, right? But is there a way to avoid it? Why does it always look for the "username" service? Even if I remove the "logon drive" parameter, the default value is the same... Thanks. Here are the more or less relevant options used: [global] security = user encrypt passwords = yes domain logons = yes logon drive = Z: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon script = netlogon.bat [netlogon] path = /home/netlogon read only = yes browseable = no [profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles writeable = yes browseable = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 And here is the [homes] section I commented out: #[homes] # # comment = Directory home # browseable = no # writeable = yes -- Ciao, Marco. ..."What If", Dixie Dregs 1978
