This is probably a hot topic, and if this has been beaten to the ground, forgive me. I'm not a regular part of the Samba community. Although I have been using Samba for years, I now have to use it in a corporate environment utilizing some of it's more modern features. Let me just say, that it's been several hours of testing/troubleshooting to get where I am now. (And I don't mean just Samba) I'm running Linux 2.6-test11 on a Sparc64. (This was the cause of many of those hours, and my display is horked and the keyboard is broken, any ideas off list? :) ) But, I wanted to use a kernel with ACL built in, and not attempt to patch one and have to keep up with patches every time I changed kernels. So, I have ACL built. I'm using ext3. I went to http://acl.bestbits.at/ and downloaded and installed all the supporting software required. (Course, all their links are broken, but I eventually found them) I followed this guide: http://www.bluelightning.org/linux/samba_acl_howto/ And everything has gone fairly well. I did have to download and compile the MIT Kerberos package, but that was just a minor set back (even with the compilation errors). So, here I am. I have kinit'd. I have ACL support. Samba 3.0 is running with ACL support. I have joined the domain, and I have joined active directory. Now, as far as winbind goes, I've done nothing except changes to nsswitch.conf. I do not wish to use my AD credentials on the server, just the shares themselves. I think I'm in align, and when I browse to the server, I receive this error: -=-[2003/12/15 10:23:11, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_socket_addr(919) getpeername failed.

So I try my Unix ID (which is different than my Windows ID, although I set up the mapping) And it fails: -=-[2003/12/15 10:26:05, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_socket_addr(919) getpeername failed.

(Connection reset by peer) -=- I've done some google'ing on this, but because it's such a generic error(s) nothing of significant value was found. Can anyone lend me some ideas? I feel like I've come so far already! If I can run some verbose logging or run give some gdb output, I'd be happy to. Thanks for your time and attention at this lengthy e-mail, Jason
