Hi With Samba4 winbind, getent passwd gives users as: WORKGROUP\user and you can login as either WORKGROUP\user or user. getent group lists only the group without the WORKGROUP\group and in a listing of files the group is only listed as group (without the WORKGROUP\ part) Is this the expected behaviour? On Samba3 winbind, both users and groups display the WORKGROUP\ prefix and you have to login with the prefix attached. Cheers, Steve
