Hello, We have a Redhat 7.2 running as a Samba PDC for a long time without any problem. All the client are Windows 2000 and WindowsXP. But now we have introduced Linux as workstations and I want to use the same setting for authenticating the Linux users (basically both systems will use the same settign and the same Samba server). We are using Redhat 9 as the workstations. There is a tab for authentication in the control center and I chose SMB and provided the domain and server name. But it does not work. The Linux systems are not authenticating from the Samba server. So how can I set up Redhat 9 to use the Samba server as the authentication server. (We also have a NIS implementation but I am reluctant to use it). One thing I came to notice after fiddling with the system is that if a user has a local account that username is authenticated from the Samba server and the login works (both using the local account password and the samba server password for that username). Thanks in advance. -Russell.
