Hi, I am using Samba 2.2.3a as a domain member for a Win2K PDC. I was able to join my Samba server as a trusted account in my PDC and doing wbinfo with options -u , -g, -t , -m all work, but wbinfo -a fails and returns with the message: Could not authenticate user mgunase%xxxxx with plaintext password Could not authenticate user mgunase%xxxxx with challenge/response I am able to see the share "test" (pls. see smb.conf file below) through "My Network Places" in WinXP, but accessing "homes" throws a "Network path cannot be found" error. :( Any ideas? My smb.conf file is as follows: [global] server string = Samba %v on %L workgroup = gce2000 security = domain encrypt passwords = yes password server = sandslash.gce2000.com #Winbind settings #winbind use default domain = yes winbind uid = 2000-5000 winbind gid = 2000-5000 template shell = /bin/bash winbind cache time = 5 (default is 300, changed to 5 for testing purpose) #Set logging options log level = 2 max log size = 100 debug timestamp = yes log file = /usr/local/samba/logs/samba.log.%m.%U [test] comment = Public share, common for all users path = /usr/local/samba/tmp read only = no guest ok = yes [homes] guest ok = yes read only = no Thanks a lot! -Murali
