Dont worry, this is the last time, ill send you a message trying to give you any help. Seeing you seem to know so much about things I am sure you can figure it out for your self.

Mostly people asking for help don't reply rudely to the people trying to help them.

Please don't do this. I'm subscribed to the list and I don't want or need two copies.

There is no question I am just stating facts. You can not authenticate
with a windows AD using a samba version < 3.0.

Ah, thank you. I think this was what you were trying to say earlier but
I didn't understand.


way. If you want to add a local SAMBA password and user name to the
machine, you have to use the smbpassword command. SAMBA user accounts
and system user accounts are not the same thing.

I know that, and this all worked perfectly before the DC upgrade. The
account exists, with the same password, both locally and on the domain
controller.

It clearly doesnt exist in the smbpassword file or you would be able to
log in locally.

It clearly *does* exist (and I've always been able to login locally):

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ grep johnc /etc/samba/smbpasswd
johnc:500:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[U ]:LCT-00000000:John Clarke


I bet if you comment out the pam_smb stuff you will still be able to
log in.

Yes, as johnc. However, I've tried a different username which has a local account (in both /etc/passwd and /etc/samba/smbpasswd) but does not have a password in /etc/shadow, and it can login if pam_smb is enabled, but not if pam_smb is disabled. It looks to me like pam_smb can authenticate with AD.


Thanks,

John
