Hello, I use pam_winbind for users authentification and pam_mount for mounting homedirs stored on w2k3 fiel server. I still have two more problems to solve: 1.

The first time error's out complaining about DCOPServer and not being able to write to the home directory....don't know if this is relevant. My experience is very limited on Unix and Samba. Please forgive me if the answer is right in front of me.

Hi Oliver, My opinion is that try delleting the machine name using the 'control center' and delete the machine account in the passwd file. Then add the machine name again using "control center, edit & creat users ", then In console add the machine using: # smbpasswd -a -m <machinename>. Note i managed to do this on SuSE 8.1. Please send me an email if u're

Hi All, my problem is I am unable to configure an NT user to access a UNIX Tru64 5.1b share from their PC. I am running Samba 2.0.7 and it runs as a domain member.

I'm running ethereal right now and I can see that my system is doing some kind of ftp attacks on others.
