Hi, I'm trying to get a Linux machine set up so that it will respond to NetWkstaGetInfo and/or NetWkstaUserEnum NetAPI requests from a Windows machine. I have samba configured and working to authenticate in the Windows domain with smb, nmb and winbind daemons running, and can browse shares on that machine from a Window PC, authenticating as either the domain administrator or a domain user.

System Summary: centos 6.2 samba 3.5 smbldap-tools 0.9.6 openldap 2.4.23 Hello, I am installing smb 3.5 on a CentOS 6.2 host using smbldap-tools. I've previously installed a similar configuration on RHEL4 using smb 3.0 but CentOS now uses nss-pam-ldapd and nslcd instead of nss_ldap, so the configurations cannot be moved straight across. Currently, when I attempt to connect to an smb share

Hi I've talked about this in other messages but have a feeling it might have got lost amongst the other symptoms we were discussing. I had a Redhat 9 server on which I'd installed Samba 3.5.6 (built from source). I had it authenticating successfully against a windows 2008 active directory server. I then upgraded the Redhat server to RHEL5.3, on which I installed Samba 3.5.7 (and

I did some searching and found others with similar issues, and I
