If I have a Samba server that is part of a Windows 2000 domain and is not a domain controller (all of our authentication goes against a Windows 2000 box), do I need to upgrade to 3.0.4/2.2.9? What is the interaction between a Samba server that is part of a domain and the Windows client if all of the authentication is being done against a Windows 2000 PDC?

You should run winbind which does the right authentication for you; Winbind maps the Windows Account to unix accounts, you have to add winbind in nsswitch.conf. Samba 3.0.4 can join with a ADS [Active directory]. All that's found in samba documentation: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/howto/ regards.

It is doubtful that this is an urgent upgrade for you. Unless you are supporting a loarge number of local user accounts on the Samba box. However, the patch for KN828741 apparently fixes a bug in the machine trust account password changing code as well. So its kind of up to you. cheers, jerry - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard ------------------------- http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team ---------------------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ---- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "...a hundred billion castaways looking for a home." ----------- Sting -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFArNZBIR7qMdg1EfYRAmM5AJ4uLu024SO/kEBSzakc0E8EHXxyGACgyB75 los/Nb07pfqEGf5K+VtsD5g=Ei1m -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
