Hi Hleb,
thank you very much for the tip.
I have another question. As you might see Im just setting up my samba4 server as an active directory domain controller.
When I login from XP, everything works fine, but when I tried to open a shared folder on my samba server I get asked for username and password.
I type the same username and password as I do on the login, but it keeps asking for username and password. Im running samba in debug level 3.
It is funny, every time I try with username and password, I dont see on the console that what I put as username/password is validated.
For your reference my smb.conf as follows:
[global]
workgroup = MYDOMAIN
realm = MYDOMAIN.COM
netbios name = PDC
server role = active directory domain controller
server services = rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, drepl, kdc, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate, smb
dcerpc endpoint servers = epmapper, wkssvc, rpcecho, samr, netlogon, lsarpc, spoolss, drsuapi, dssetup, unixinfo, browser, eventlog6, backupkey, dnsserver, winreg, srvsvc
[netlogon]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/expomediosgye.com/scripts
read only = No
[sysvol]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol
read only = No
[shared]
path = /var/lib/samba/usershares
read only = No
