I have samba 2.2.7 running on Tru64unix. In the smb.conf file, in the global section, I have the following: password server = PWA, PW security = server With these options set, all of the network users who also have accounts on the unix machine can access the samba share they need. We also have a user without a network accout but has an account on unix can also access the share because his name is in the unix and samba passwd files. I am trying to set up an identical situation on a new Tru64 unix machine. I have installed samba with no problems on unix. I have copied the smb.conf file from the original machine to the new. Everything has been set up the same on the new machine. The network users can browse and connect to the samba shares on the new machine but the one user that only has the unix and smb account cannot (the way he could on the original machine). The only difference between the two scenarios is the version of samba. On this new machine, I'm using ver. 3.0.21b. Here is the pertinent sections of the smb.conf file. [global] workgroup = PUBLICWORKS hosts allow = 10. wins server = 10.116.10.1 domain master = no local master = no preferred master = no os level = 0 password server = PWA, PW security = server encrypt passwords = yes username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/user.map [aff-src] comment = HiAffinity PhaseI code set path = /Affinity/Ver5.2 admin users = affinity guest ok = no writeable = no P.S. I have been and am still looking at the HOWTO and O'Reilly doc.
