Thanks for any information and your time!!! I have been working on getting my samba 2.2.5 server to work with my 2K domain in (native mode). Setup is on a RH 7.3 system with two NIC's one on a Internet network the other is for the LAN. What I need is to get the XP/2K/4.0 systems to see the samba shares and us them based on the users and groups that are on the domain. This is a 2K AD Domain. I have performed the following: Setup the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. Change the /etc/pam_smb.conf file. Changed the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. Changed the /etc/pam.d/system-auth and samba files. Set smb and winbindd to start with the system. Added the samba system to the domain using smbpasswd -j XXX -r XXX -U XXX%XXX. To test I did the following: Used smbclient -L (samba and domain server) -U domain+user%password. I was able to get connected to the servers. and get to the information that only the user was able to get to. wbinfo -t = could not check the secret. wbinfo - m = could not list trusted domains wbinfo - u = error looking up domain users. Is there any configuration that I need to do with LDAP? Thanks again!
