"security = DOMAIN" causes Samba to work with your Active Directory domain as if it is an NT4 server - using remote procedure call (RPC) authentication. This requires NetBIOS over TCP/IP. "security = ADS" causes Samba to communicate with Active Directory using Kerberos authentication protocols and does not require NetBIOS over TCP/IP support. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
