It would act as if it's not seeing the credentials for the share that is using the group specification.
So to summarize what going on: The public share prompts for a username and password but does not take one. [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/ public = yes read only = no valid users = @"_IFAS-FRE-USERS_autoGS" A share that does not have the user requirement allows a Active Direcotry user to login just fine. [homes] comment = %U Home Directory browseable = no path = %H valid users = %U writable = yes create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 -----Original Message----- From: Adam Nielsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 6:45 PM To: Reese,Richard Stephen Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Samba] Unable to use 'valid users' from Active Directory > I tried that but the results are the same, I am still prompted to > enter a username and password, and it doesn't take.

In that case you'll only get a prompt if the credentials you're already using are incorrect, i.e. you correctly logged into the domain, then you connect to Samba and pass those same credentials on, Samba rejects the credentials for whatever reason and then you get a prompt asking for a valid username and password. > I am getting a error when trying to access the share: > > [2006/06/01 16:13:39, 1] smbd/sesssetup.c:reply_spnego_kerberos(250) > Username UFAD\IF-FRE-CETUS$ is invalid on this system > > The username that it mentions is my computer name... Which computer name is that? If it's the Samba machine, it would indicate that it hasn't correctly joined the domain. Part of the process of joining a domain involves creating a computer account in Active Directory, which is the account Samba uses when it connects to the directory to retrieve a list of users/groups. > I've attached my smb.conf in hopes that I am just missing something in > the configuration. Almost none of the domain config is stored in smb.conf, it's all updated dynamically in the binary data files when you run commands like 'net join'. You'll need to run things like "net testjoin" etc. to try to figure out why wbinfo is working but smbd isn't.
