[Samba] 2.2.7a securtiy 'server' auth. problems

[Frank.Heckes at nokia.com]

Hi John,

yes it's enabled. Btw here's the relevant part of our smb.conf:

        security = SERVER
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        password server = duwdc001 duwdc002 duwdc003
        username map = /opt/samba-2.2.7a/lib/username.map
        domain master = no
        local master = no
        preferred master = no 
        os level = 0

Bye

	Frank
