I believe that the Windows server validates the username/password
combination. However, the SWAT help file has this to say about security
= domain:
/Note/ that a valid UNIX user must still exist as well as the account on
the Domain Controller to allow Samba to have a valid UNIX account to map
file access to.
//
I believe this would imply that the account needs to be enabled on your
Samba server. To do this through SWAT, just click on the PASSWORD icon,
enter the user name and click on Enable User (assuming you have added
the user).
The tdbsam is the default Samba database for mapping Windows to Unix
accounts. The user has be in the database and enabled.

As I understood it he should be authenticating the logon using the
windows server (active directory) and not storing users and passwords
locally (on the linux box). I didn't recognize the tdbsam entry in the
config file though.
If what I have said is true, do I still need to enable the account? If
so, how?
Thanx!

As a new user, did you enable his account? My usual advice is to use
SWAT for this. :)

I
have set up samba before, but it has been a few years so I'm very
rusty.
The problem is a logon failure for a new user. The smb.conf file has
workgroup = DELTA
server string = File Server
security = DOMAIN
obey pam restrictions = Yes
password server = delta.deltacompsys.com
passdb backend = tdbsam
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully*
.
I am not familiar with tdbsam. Can anyone point me to some
documentation or give me the 5 second overview? Where do I go to
debug
this problem?
The logon works fine for Windows, just fails with samba. This is
running on a debian distro. Thanx!
