samba - May 2003 - Don't be afraid to answer this question!!!

Hi List,

I really need your help....

I have been working with Samba 2.2.8 configuring it as a PDC with two
members, one with windows XP and the other with RedHat 7.3. So, I have
three machines, one with RedHat 7.3 as a PDC, another with RedHat 7.3 as a
PDC member and another with Windows XP as a PDC member too.

Well, so far I have joined my XP machine and my RedHat machine into the PDC
machine without any problem.

The Windows machine works fine but my RedHat machine doesn't.

The thing is that I can't log into my machine graphically using the PDC
users but I do can log into my machine using the text mode, why does this
happen? 

I can see the PDC users in my machine when I run the wbinfo command but
when I try to access a shared folder using the PDC users I can't do it
anyway but in the windows side it works perfectly...

Any clue about it? I'm using the winbind service modifying the
/etc/pam.d/samba file in order to log into my machine using Samba but
without any success...

Another interesting thing is that I could all this using a Windows PDC
instead.... isn't it weird?

What am I doing wrong? What did I miss?

Thanks in advance

Leonardo......

how do you have your redhat 7.3 member configured to grab user information
from the rh7.3 server?

hmm...I thought winbind was only to suck users and give uid's to them from a
windows domain..maybe you have a cached list

I think that rolls back to the winbind comment above
