Here is the output from testparm. It all looks good to me. This also shows it is read the smb.conf I would expect.

We use an WindBlose Nice Try box for the PDC. I can not get any of the Windblose boxes to log onto the Samba server. There seems to be a problem. The Samba log file has the following messages: [2000/11/14 11:01:05, 1] lib/util_sock.c:client_name(1007) Gethostbyaddr failed for 192.168.1.57 [2000/11/14 11:01:07, 0] rpc_client/cli_netlogon.c:cli_net_sam_logon(391) cli_net_sam_logon: NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER [2000/11/14 11:01:07, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1470) domain_client_validate: unable to validate password for user cjg in domain CJG to Domain controller NTSQLSRVR.

[2000/11/14 11:01:09, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(925) Rejecting user 'cjg': authentication failed By these messages it would seem that the Samba server is not talking the PDC. Yet when I use smbclient with the same user I log on just fine. The log has these messages: [2000/11/14 10:53:30, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(550) cadtel2 (127.0.0.1) connect to service sys as user nobody (uid=99, gid=99) (pid 5086) [2000/11/14 10:56:03, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583) cadtel2 (127.0.0.1) closed connection to service sys This would lead to the believe that the Samba server is talking to the PDC. Any ideas on what the problem might be? Thank You, David Demland Qa/Testing Manager CADTEL Systems, Inc. 11201 N.
