No, I didn't 'block' you, I rejected your post because you are going
around in circles and I asked you not to reply, but you did.
As for 'full mesh', this is how Samba used to work, but it doesn't
now,
this is also how Microsoft AD works.
Every now and again, a user pops up on here that 'knows' how Samba works
and you cannot get through to them that it is better to get Samba
working in a recommended way before making changes that may or may not
work. With this type of person, I have come to understand that whatever
I say, they know better, so I stop trying to help them.
