...ins that are (very) iffy. tcpdump of failed logins shows a very large number of packets being sent from the workstation like this: xpmachine.caltech.edu.1026 > smbserver.netbios-ssn with absolutely nothing going back. log.nmbd has these lines (as if it is working correctly) Samba server SAFSERVER is now a domain master browser for workgroup SAF on subnet 131.215.12.42 Samba server SAFSERVER is now a local master browser for workgroup SAF on subnet 13.215.12.42 These are unchanged from the previous version. The smb.conf was not modified. It still uses the smbpasswd mechanism. Anybody...

...(A very strange symptom, how it worked sometimes is still a mystery to me.) Similarly, this would fail: % smbclient -L saf01 -U 'saf/mathog%(password)' session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE Conversely this worked (user domain logon, directly to the domain master): % smbclient -L safserver -U 'saf/mathog%(password)' That told me that the user logon was ok, but there was some issue with interaction between the two machines. It is easy enough to pull the SID off one of the workstations. Is there some command that is the equivalent of the first command, but along the lines of...

...base directory path = /u4/pdb [profiles] comment = user's profile directories path = /u1/usr/people/%u/profile read only = No create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 browsable = No The one script contains just this line: net use p: \\safserver\pdb /persistent:no Desktop settings used to be retained in the roaming profiles. What has changed between these Samba versions to account for this difference? Thank you, David Mathog mathog at caltech.edu Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

I am trying to automate W7 joining to our Samba domain. It works fine through the Windows GUI from the W7 workstations. However, for a script one would have to store password used for domain access, and since that is the server's root password, I really don't want to hard code that into a file. Is there a way to set (temporarily) a Samba server so that it will accept (admin/anything) as
