Hi there, I have just purchased a new PC that came with Windows 8 Pro (Shudder...). I have been trying to add this machine to my Samba3 based domain.

Hi All, I have a rather strange, if not critical, issue with samba as a NT4 domain controller. We have samba [version 3.0.24] set up as a PDC using LDAP as a backend. Each account was created using the IDEALX scripts, has a displayName set to a users full name, say Joe Bloggs. The actual UID of the account is different, say bloggsjoe. When signing into Window XP, everything works fine.

Hi, I have a Samba PDC (Version 3.6.6) backed by LDAP and a number of Linux Samba domain memebers (security = domain). On the PDC I have ACLs configured and all this is working as expected. On the domain members however, I have ACLs also enabled and while they work, they only seem to work if I make ACL changes using the setfacl commands on the box directly.
