I'm trying to convince a Windows admin to try Samba. One worry of his is the following issue using 3.0.9: When the computer is not attached to a network he wants the cached profile to allow a user access to a machine. I know this works. But when the users domain (samba) password was changed on the PDC, and the computer was re-attached to the network, the local profile was used instead of the domain profile. In other words, after changing the users domain password with smbpasswd, the user was not able to use the new domain password because there was a local profile on the machine for that user. He says in an AD domain, the client machine will look for a domain profile first, and fail over to a local login profile. My machine appeared to prefer the local profile, and password, even though there was a DC attached. Thanks Doug P
