Userlevel security, Access Rights: User list inaccessable

Hi Folks, not sure if I'm in the right place, but from what I've read so far
installing Samba TNG may get me there...

I have 3 w98 clients, 1 w95 client and a RH6.1 server currently running
Samba2.06 as a pseudo-PDC using encrypt passwds and security=user. My smb shares
on the server and a simple login script to map them runs OK. I want the server
to authenticate all share access & logins, so what do I have to do to get Samba
to return a list of valid users?

The message below was posted to linux.samba for quite awhile & never got any
response other than the usual usenet spam. Hope ya'll can point me in right
direction... Do I really need Samba TNG? or just a better understanding of how
to configure Samba 2.06 username mappings? Is there a RH rpm available for Samba
TNG?

Hi guys, this is my first attempt to setup a PDC & can't find the cause of this
one in my books or the docs.

I have successfully created a Samba 2.06 PDC and set sercurity = user.
Several shares exist on the samba server & I can logon from a w9x client and
browse each. 

When I try to create a new printer or share on the w95 client, because my Access
Rights point to Domain login to NT Server for validation I'm asked to Add Users.

Error: You have created a share but not given anyone permission to use it.
       Do you want to Add Users now? <yes>
Error: User list inaccessable at this time?

It looks like the client is attempting to get a list of Auth Users from the PDC,
but I can't figure out where to config this list for new shares on other
client/servers.

My interpretation of these obvious perameters is for the Samba server side only
or doesn't suit this application...
valid users =
username =
username map =

Please clarify. Thanks...
