Hi, I have installed samba with the following smb.conf parameters settings, in this way it authenticate the NT Domain users on the share, but I want to authenticate also local users on the SRVLX03 they are declared in passdb.tdb file and works on MS-DOS client. So I've try to connect to the share by smbclient command with these users and it works fine if I put -W SRVLX03 (they aren't on DOMAIN) , but how can I get the same on MS-DOS client? Thanks a lot.
