How do I establish both a user's primary NTgroup and Unixgroup when creating a new user? Depending on the tool, I can set his NTgroup or his Unix group, but I don't seem to be able to establish both with one tool. I'm having a little difficulty with creating users with the proper groups. My login scripts are based on the user's primary group. When I create a new user with

I have been successfully running a Samba server on my home LAN for several years. It's on an old Redhat 9 P3 box. I recently rebuilt my laptop with XP (after hard drive failure). I added just one user, the system administrator, with the same user name and password as before. Now the XP laptop cannot see the Samba server at all. samba server is at 192.168.0.3 XP laptop is at 192.168.0.7 (same

Hi, Here is my situation. I share several directories as public, and some other that must be read-write but with authentication (it does not matter is the client supplies the username or not, although it would be nice, but the password is essential as not everybody must have write permission). So what i first did was use the server with "security=user". WindowsXp does not see my shares

I'm not sure if this is supported or not, but I can't get it to work. I'm trying to get the smb password and the unix password to sync for mapped users. I have have 'unix password sync' turned on and I have the username mapping file set up. When I change a users password in windows (where the username is the same in windows and linux) the password changes just fine. When I

My desired setup is to have one Samba PDC (LION) in control of the ANIMALS domain and then have the other Samba file server (HYDRA) join ANIMALS. Simple enough. My smb.conf files are attached.
