Hey everybody... I have a samba configured as PDC and LDAP installed in the same machine. Ok. Everything is working correctly, but I want to enhance the performance. So, I read that if I set the ldapsam:trusted option, samba will directly communicate to ldap to get informations (not using NSS anymore). So, I decided to put "ldapsam:trusted = yes" and "guest account = nobody" in my config file. Therefore, everytime that I start/restart samba server it complains about it (and remains stopped). So, I don't know what should I do... because I already tried these steps: # userdel nobody # groupdel nobody # smbldap-groupadd -g 65534 -o nobody # smbldap-useradd -a -u 65534 -g 65534 -n -s /bin/false -d / nobody and I still can't start samba. The user account nobody is used for a several applications as dhcpd and others services in my box. Can I use another account to set this?! I can post my config file if it's necessary... just ask me :) Please, help me. Thanks in Advance, Guilherme _Machado_

I assume that is what you are doing in the above.> The user account nobody is used for a several applications as dhcpd > and others services in my box.

Not shared with anything else it is a bit simpler.> I can post my config file if it's necessary... just ask me :)-- Adam Tauno Williams, Network & Systems Administrator Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org
