ANY HOPE GETTING RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS? - samba3.0alpha15 - s olaris 8

[David Edward Shapiro]

I have sent the questions and have seen the question from other people, but
I do not see a lot of replying, which is why I put the uppercasing.  Thanks
for replying.  I included the attachments before, but apparently you did not
get them on your end.  The list cuts attachments off?  Anyway, enterprise is
a solaris samba server.  The pdc is an NT server.   Enterprise is where I
had to create the user in its /etc/passwd file.  It has been configured with
winbind.

First, don't shout when you set the subject. It just looks like spam.

Something tells me that you have an include line in your conf file in the 
form of 
	include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m
which it tries to include, for every machine that accesses your server, and 
of course fails, since there is no smb.conf.<machinename>.

Do you mean to say that enterprise is a samba server on which you make the 
user, or is it some other machine? (Not too clear what machine is client and

server). If so, take a look at the non-unix-accounts thingy that abartlet 
wrote. (I'd give more info, but I haven't had time to look at it, so I don't

really know what's going on with it)
