I have looked at the archives, looked at howto and the other howto... My wbinfo -t, -u and -g all work, but I can't find anywhere that says my -a only working encrypted is good or bad (plain text fails). I just want squid on this box to be able to look people up with an ntlm helper... But I got hung up on the fact that Samba can actually do this (be a member server). I do the getent [-p and -g] and I can see everyone in AD... What am I missing? __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
