Hei! After countless frustrating hours of reading manpages, searching google and staring at my smb.conf i have given up and now spamming this mailing list with stupid questions.
I have a Samba PDC and several Windows 9x clients. Those Windows boxes use user level access control and the Samba server handles the authentication of users. Everything works fine besides one thing -- those windows clients cannot share anything. For example, when i try to share the c: drive on one of those Windows boxes, i get the following error, when trying to add users to the access control list of that share: you cannot view the list of users at this time. please try again later. Clearly, the windows machine cannot get the list of users/groups from Samba PDC and i don't have a clue, why this is so. My Samba server has the following configuration: juhan@galadriel:~$ /usr/sbin/smbd -V Version 2.2.3a-6 for Debian juhan@galadriel:~$ uname -a Linux galadriel 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Sam M�r 30 00:56:06 CET 2002 i586 unknown The global section of my smb.conf [global] netbios name = GALADRIEL workgroup = ARNOR server string = Samba server %v (%h) log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 syslog = 0 os level = 255 local master = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes security = user encrypt passwords = yes invalid users = root smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd domain logons = yes logon home = \\galadriel\%U logon script = %U.bat wins support = true name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast dns proxy = no unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
