Hi,
My users login to their PC's with the windows domain and username and
their windows login is authenticated by the Windows AD servers. They
then try and map a drive from my Samba server which authenticates
against it's /etc/passwd file (non encrypted passwords).
Hence the users are logged into Windows as shoreham\grma when they try
and map a drive on the Samba server - what username is sent for
authentication - is it shoreham\grma or just grma? The reason that I ask
this is that the user on the Samba server has the username grma in the
password file and I am wondering if this is causing me problems.
I guess in summary I am asking whether Samba tries to authenticate the
username or domain\username when the Samba server uses local password
files.
Regards
Gary Mansell
