Is your smb.conf set up to match? I'm not sure if mounting via cifs reads it, but for smbclient you need to have at least the domain and password server set in there, and maybe security=server. If this is really Active Directory, it needs to have the domain compatibility mode set or you may need some other settings - and to join the domain. > Does this BPC-solution by any chance require that passwords are sent in > clear text? I'm grasping for straws... I'm not sure plain text is ever used. The choices would be NT LANMAN style hashes or whatever they changed to in win2k3. A samba 3.x version should be able to do both. I don't think the kernel cifs module does kerberos or client signing, though. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
