Hi, I have problem with client password chat with Samba (3.0.24) PDC on Suse after updating OS to service pack 1. The problem prevents client from changing own password in Windows, plus other things to do with password, like adding user with Windows User manager.

Hi, I had an active-directory authentication based samba system up and running, working well. However, I tried to access an SMB share on the server a few days back and just get a windows login user/password prompt. I'm trying to debug why theres a "system error".

Hi, I used to have a set of samba shares working fine on a Centos 4 machine, accessed by XP clients and authenticated against a 2003 SBS server. Then I did a yum upgrade and a week later noticed that the seldom-used SMB shares have stopped working. No other changes to the Centos server, and no domain changes.
