Hi, I'm am trying to configure our samba server to use dfs. It authenticates against active directory but it gets the uid mappings from nis via the local nsswitch.

Hi all, Having just upgraded our IRIX 6.5 servers from 2.2.5 to 2.2.8a, we're now having trouble with the DFS shares that it serves to our site.

Hi, I have a few questions. My goal is to run NIS and samba so I have a central point of passwd control and just one place to change passwords. I will eventually have 5 samba servers so this is quite important to me as I don't want to have to change passwords and setup passwords on 5 servers when changing or adding new users. Can this be done? So that if a user changes his password for

Hello folks, I have posted a message similar to this on the solaris list. I'm trying to export a number of shares that are automounted under a common directory, i.e, /prog.

Hi all, I'm using Samba 3.0.6 (on IRIX 6.5). This is just a 'let you know what I've discovered' message really. I've just installed upgrade a laptop here to SP2 of Windows XP.

Do I need to use smbgroupedit to make the domain
