hello, when my computer's client is not connected to network (and so cannot connect to pdc), they are not able to log in, they have a message telling us that the system can't log in because the domain is unavailable, how to permit people to log in even if they are not connected to network? -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

I have just installed Fedora Core 5 with the Samba server. However only the nmbd daemon is running. I thought both smbd and nmbd should be running. On trying to start smbd with: >/sbin/service smb start the result is "starting smbd [FAILED]" Stopping smbd of course has no effect, and starting or restarting nmbd works just fine. I'm stumped! I turned SELinux and the firewall off.

When I use the usermanager from SRVTOOLS.EXE on my W2K workstation I don't see any groups listed in the window below the userlist.
