Thanks, Steve. It turned out all i needed to do was add an adduser script to the global section, that creates the users after checking with the PDC (haven't tried the `worst case' - logging in with a user not added to the domain) anyway, it works (for now).
Thanks anyway.

I use the following: [temp] path = /usr/local/share/data/temp public = yes writable = no printable = no write list = @smbusers smbusers is a group in /etc/groups and I have all the WIndows users in this group. AFAIK this is the only way you can limit writing to the temp directory to a group of users. Also, last time I checked the users had to exists in the local password file /etc/passwd. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
