I asked this question a while ago, but never got any response. Since then, I've researched the problem some more, so I can give a much more concise description of what's happening.
I'm mounting the home directories of the users upon login (using pam_mount) from the Windows server. However, none of the users can run X Windows. It says there's a problem with the .Xauthority file. I read that the .Xauthority and the .ICEauthority files can't exist on and SMB share, so I used environment variables and pointed them to /tmp. Now, when the users try to start X (either through the GUI login, or from "startx"), it says the connection is refused by the server. Does anyone have any idea how I can work around this, or how I can fix it and still have the home directories mounted from the Windows server? ____________________________ Shannon Johnson Network Support Specialist / Systems Administrator Dept. of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering 224 Reber Building University Park, PA 16802 Phone: (814) 865-8267 ____________________________ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
