I've noticed something that is bothersome. As mentionned in previous post, the linux fileserver where Samba runs is called OSLO, the domain is DEVNET. I mentionned that my (windows) users all reside in c:\users \USERNAME.oslo instead of c:\users\USERNAME.devnet All my windows boxes are confusing the linux box hostname with the domain-name, and it shows when, for instance I try to authenticate on an SQL Server using domain\username. There is something wrong in my samba config. I can't figure what. Any help would be appreciated. (below: a part of my smb.conf; note that users don't authenticate against an LDAP or anything.) <snip> [global] workgroup = DEVNET server string = oslo log file = /var/log/samba/smbd.log.%m max log size = 5120 add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd %u delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel %u add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -c Machine_CHANGEME -d /dev/null -s /bin/false %u logon path = logon home = domain logons = Yes os level = 33 preferred master = Auto domain master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes idmap config * : backend = tdb hosts allow = 10.0.0.0/255.248.0.0, 127.0.0.1 <snip> Thanks, -- Jeff -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
