Hi I managed to get my Sun NAS filer to join my Samba domain (2.2.10). However, I cannot mount any of the shares from the NAS to a PC in the same domain, getting an error : 06/21/05 14:15:53 NetrSamLogon[BIOSS\janet]: SAMBA ACCESS_DENIED (Samba PDC) When I asked Sun about it they responded : "Further reseach has shown that a connection to SAMBA domain controller as is not supported by the

Hi I'm becoming a bit confused. I have been trying out the Samba PDC code from BRANCH_NTDOM on Solaris 2.5.1 (with great success !).

The NTDOM FAQ says 'cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.anu.edu.au:/cvsroot co samba '. When I do

Hi If I add a specific machine to my hosts allow list in the global section of my smb.conf, then that machine can access any of the shares on that server.

When they attempt to do so from Windows, they get a message saying "You do not have permission to change your password". However, the password IS changed. Both the Samba and LDAP Linux passwords are
