Hi Simon (and all), Thanks for your reply. :) I appreciate any pointers I can get here.

I've gotten stuck at this point before, but other priorities have taken over... (We have no Linux sys admin, I'm it by default.) But yes, much happier having Linux infiltrate the Windows network here... :) > You need to look into winbind as it will "mirror" the Windows > accounts onto your machine. I have been. I've set up /etc/samba/smb.conf, /etc/krb5.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf and have a username map file set up. ---snip from nsswitch.conf--- passwd: files compat winbind shadow: files compat winbind group: files compat winbind ---snip--- I've also tried other variations on the above (eg no files, no compat, just winbind or combination of winbind and one of the other two). All to no avail (restarting winbind and samba between attempts). It seems that unless the user has a smbpasswd setup, the Samba server won't accept a connection. Even then it still asks for a username/password to be input when connecting (even if they match the current username/password). Thanks heaps for your help so far. (And to Mike MacCana too.)
