On the Windows boxen, I did: set | more .. something bothered me, the USERDOMAIN variable was set to the linux host hostname. I figured that users might be logging in locally, somehow. Easy to solve: pdbedit -x USER ; smbpasswd -a USER.
I went with pdbedit -x instead of smbpasswd -x because smbpasswd -x also launches userdel, which I wanted to avoid. All set and solved. -- Jeff On Sun, 2012-05-06 at 10:15 -0400, J.F.Gratton wrote: > Good morning, > > I'm running Samba 3.6.5 on a Fedora 16 box, where I configured Samba to act > as a PDC.
