Ok, here is my situation,
I have a Samba server (Sam) and an NT Domain controller(NewT) on a domain called Dominic. I am trying to be able to log into Sam using NewT to verify the passwords and usernames. I did have it working with the "security = server" option, but i eventually want to be able to dynamically add users to Sam, along with what groups they belong too (hopefully using the "add user script = " and the "delete user script = " options). This means that i need "security = domain". I stopped the smb daemons, added Sam to the domain on NewT(as a "Windows NT workstation or server"), then typed the following command on Sam to add him to the domain:
smbpasswd -j Dominic -r NewT ,
edited the smb.conf file to this:
###################### SMB.CONF ######################
[global]
netbios name = Sam
encrypt passwords = yes
security = domain
domain logons = yes ##I have tried without this line
#also
workgroup = Dominic
password server = NewT
guest ok = yes
######################################################
#I have also played with many of these options
#(i dont think most of 'em matter, but you nevr know
#log file = directory/samba.log
#max log file = 1000
#local master = no
#dns proxy = no
#guest account = ftp
######################################################
[share1]
read only = yes
write list = user1 ##(username is "user1")
path = directory/share
################ END SMB.CONF #######################
and then i restarted the daemons.
I tried to log in using a username (user1) that worked with "security = server" (ie, it is a valid unix account and a valid NT account).
I have also tried many variations of the above and have came up with nothing.
I know simular questions have been asked and i apologize, but i am kinda new to this game, and i have not been able to figure this one out, thankyou to anyone who can help, i really appreciate it :)
