Hello Todd, I can't see exactly what is going on but I am willing to make some observations.
When I encounter problems, I often strip down my smb.conf to the bare minimum and base it upon the examples in any of the SAMBA Howtos. I especially like the ones in John Terpstra's book. Check out: http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/ Keeping a copy of the current file, I would strip down your smb.conf to a more basic level like: [global] netbios name = SAMBA1 #socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 #server string = BOA Samba local master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes domain master = yes # workgroup = anc-smb Note: I don't know if a "-" is a valid char, but I'd \ test without just in case workgroup = TESTSMB #interfaces = ************** logon home = /walrus/%U logon path =\\%N\profiles\%u log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m log level = 2 #max log size = 50 #lock directory = /var/lock/samba #printcap name = /etc/printcap security = user #wins support = yes #dns proxy = yes os level = 99 #remote announce = ***************** #deadtime = 15 #authenctication options security = user encrypt passwords = yes null passwords = no #password level = 0 smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd #unix realname = no ; *************** File System Configurations *************** [netlogon] comment = Net Logon path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon read only = yes #write = ntadmin [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 I don't think I missed any of the essential pieces. If you can get it working at this stage that start add the features you want testing each addition to ensure you don't break anything. If it doesn't work at this point, look at the permissions on smbpasswd file, or /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon, anything that might restrict access to the service. Ensure you have the bit about profiles. Also, if you're running WinXP you need to do two registry edits to join the machines to the domain: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters] "requiresignorseal"=dword:00000000 "signsecurechannel"=dword:00000000 I have found that you don't need to do this for win2k machines, but I have had to do it for winxp. Samba 3.0.1pre3 seems to not require this. Let me know how it works out.
