Sorry. On the box where it worked, I *did* run smbpasswd -a for each LDAP user. I have tried it on the new box and it works. What I think you are saying is that if we use smbldap-tools, it's one step rather than the two steps of cpu useradd and smbpasswd -a. Not for the first time, I reflect on how forgetting a little detail can waste hours. Thanks for your help though. It's much appreciated. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
