security = domain

Well, I commented out said line and rebuilt everything.  I can now
browse the shares on my SAMBA machine (the logs show it using the
"nobody" account).  Interestingly, all the shares appear in explorer
with names in ALL CAPS.  I can access those shares if there is a user
account on the Linux box with the same name as my NT domain username.
However, if I delete that user account from the Linux box, I cannot
access those shares anymore.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding how SAMBA/NTDOM is supposed to work.  Is it
supposed to be possible to get a SAMBA server to get ALL of it's auth
info from an NT PDC without having to administer user accounts on the
SAMBA server whatsoever?  Or do I need to have user accounts on the
SAMBA server for each of my NT domain users?

Thanks!

		This looks to me like another broken 'setresuid' call.
Strange, I
		thought it had been fixed in Redhat 5.1 (maybe not).

		Try commenting out (enclose in /* ... */) the #define
HAVE_SETRESUID 1
		line in config.h and do a clean recompile ("make clean;
make").
