Hi List, I installed Samba 3.0.0beta3 on RH 8. I'm trying to make a shared directory so I can access from M$ machines using NT users ( from my PDC ). I got to join the Domain and I can see the users from my domain (in the Linux), I can even login as one... I used the RTFM "Samba-HOWTO-Collection" to do this... But I can't open the shared directory, not from any M$ client (or the PDC) or the Linux it self ( mount -t smbfs -o username=SRVRS+test%123456 //pstsrv/test /mnt/test) winbindd is running ( I try whit "-B" and whitout it)... also nmdb & smbd running... every time I try to connect to the share I see in the log this: <snap> auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(994) make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed! <snap> google finds 7 issues like this, nun of them are helpful. My testparm is: ---------------------- Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[SHR]" Processing section "[test]" Loaded services file OK. 'winbind separator = +' might cause problems with group membership.

PS: if I try to run smbmount whit "debug level 10" I get in this: <snap> 21055: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed At this point any help/good idea can help :-) Thanks, Gili _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
