I don't understand the question. Just follow the docs. I use an ldapsam tdb backend. When the Windows machine joins the domain as a trusted computer (in which all the Samba domain Unix users have already been taken up into the windows hierarchy, with pdbedit or smbpasswd), they will automatically be able to log on to the Windows machine, unless they are deliberately excluded in the domain policy (i.e. they may only log on from certain workstations(. --Tonni -- mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.billy.demon.nl -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
