hello users! (i finally succeed to ping winbind .... i think it was due to my password cos i don't know what else i've done to make it work) but now i've got another problem. i cant ping, secret is good, i can do getent passwd, wbinfo -a user%pass , this says me if the auth succeed or not ... well in samba, ive made a share like this : [duc_shares] path= /usr valid users = pitie user pitie is a domain user. he has no account in /etc/passwd . he s pass is "pitie" when a do a wbinfo pitie%pitie if works but when the user pitie log onto the domain, he is prompt for a login pass to access this share and his login/pass dont work ... why ? thanks :-) chris --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en fran?ais !
