What do you mean by the users with Unix accounts getting "that account and home directory when they connect through samba? Connect how? I'm really having a hard time understanding the context. Unless you are using NIS, unix accounts are always local. And even in that case, their home directories are intially local unless linked to directories exported through NFS on another server. All of which shows just how confused I am by your expression "connect through samba." Logged in locally through unix, they will have access to their home directories the usual way. Samba has nothing to do with that: they are not "connecting through samba". For *other* samba shares locally or on other samba servers, they can access them in the usual ways -- smbclient, mount - t smbfs. I feel I'm missing something in understanding your question. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
