[Stephen C. Lynch Jr.]

Hope this isn't a problem, but I didn't know if I sent this to the wrong place.  So here it is again.  Thanks.

Subject:  PDC Authentication

I am running Samba version 2.0.3 on a SUN E4500 compiled using Sun WorkShop Compiler C 4.2

It is configured to authenticate using the NT PDC.  I do not have most of the Ids on the UNIX system and it seems to work well.  The application doesn't require writing, only reading so the UNIX permissions are set to 755 on the shared directory.  I do receive errors occasionally, as shown by the log below, when mapping this drive.  The error (running the following command on login: net use m: \\sun011\spool /persistent:no ) indicates that the password is incorrect.  If the user logs off and back on the drive maps fine.  This seems to be random, but tends toward "busy" times (15 users - hardly too busy).  I assume by the log excerpt below that the NT PDC denied access and they Samba tried Unix, which would also fail because the is not a matching UNIX account.  One final bit of information that might be helpful: I recived the following errors while installing/compiling Samba:
Compiling passdb/pass_check.c
"passdb/pass_check.c", line 93: warning: initialization type mismatch
"passdb/pass_check.c", line 735: warning: statement not reached
Compiling passdb/ldap.c

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Steve
