I got winbind working!! For anyone who is interested here is what my smb.conf looks like - [global] workgroup = DOMAIN server string = winbind client log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 local master = no dns proxy = no idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 template homedir = /home/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash winbind seperator = - winbind use default domain = yes I then joined the domain with - net rpc join -S pdc -U administrator%password Then I ran authconfig (I'm using redhat 9.0) to setup PAM for smb authentication. I can now login to my linux machines with my windoze username and password. The only thing I haven't managed to do yet is automatically create the home directories, does anyone know how to do that? I seem to remember reading somewhere that this is also a PAM thing but I can't seem to find that article again. Thanks, Sapan

You can use lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so in debian. -- Best regards, Gunter Schenck mailto:schenck@wifa.uni-leipzig.de
