Hi all, We have Samba 3 up to and including 3.0.9 working fine using LDAP for the backend. XP and 9X logons work fine. On upgrading to newer versions (inc. 3.0.11, 3.0.14a and tried 3.0.20), in the same configuration, 9X logons stop working properly - they authenticate, but fail to get information such as groups and user's full name. XP still works fine. We use KIX for our logon scripts and I have observed that the new Samba gives a different result to the KIX test script than the old one. When running the KIX test script, our working build reports 'USER' privileges and has all the user details available. The non-working, newer samba reports 'GUEST' privileges and is missing a lot of the user details. I'm guessing this is, at least, a big sign over the problems we are having but have spent some time experimenting and basically fiddling with things in hope of success, but without any. I am not the only one to suffer from this, however. A friend of mine who operates a separate local network that was built completely separately and without any commonality (both done from the ground-up using Samba docs, etc.) has the same problems. We both now have the same problems. Has anybody else seen anything like this? Both networks are based on Solaris on Sparc servers, but the other network has also tried FreeBSD on x86 and found exactly the same problems. OpenLDAP on the backend in both cases. Am finding this seriously frustrating now, so would really appreciate any ideas - I can't believe there can be two occurrences of this problem locally but nobody else would find it globally. And, if it turns out to be something i've done stupid, then i'm now prepared to accept that and cope with the shame, just as long as it gets better! Thanks in advance Ade
