security = server # relates to using an NT4 type domain controller for authentication and should probably be used in conjunction with 'password server = NET_BIOS_NAME_OF_PDC' security = user # relates to using local passdb for authentication. This information should be in both the man pages for smb.conf and in the samba 'How-To' The example you are apparently referring to must relate to a scenario with an existing NT4 type PDC already in place, perhaps for the sample migration from WinNT4 PDC to samba 3 PDC. ---- > > I changed to security = user, and smbclient -L localhost/lserver0 both > worked correctly. > > Now, however, the other problem to which I alluded remains.
