Greetings List, I've got 2 identical Samba Member servers on my domain,of which the global section of the smb.conf is identical. My config file is below: The difference? One's a 64 bit OS the other is 32 (I don't think this is the issue). The 32 bit system runs flawlessly,the 64 bit OS does not and when I execute pdbedit -L it does not return the ldap database information,(it returns what looks to be local system accounts. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
