And the symptom was:
| I have posted to the user groups and think I have found a bug. Our
| RHL6.2 box running samba 2.0.6 is a member of our NT domain. An NT
user
| (say jbloggs) cannot browse the unix/samba box unless there is a
| corresponding unix user (jbloggs) on the unix box; this is the
expected
| (and correct??!) behavior. We have added samba 2.2.2 to one of our
Sun
| boxes (Solaris 8) and now we appear to have to add users to the
| "smbusers" file in addition to (or instead of) just having a
| corresponding unix user. I will supply further information
(smb.conf,
| log files, whatever) as requested.

	You normally need a Unix user, but if you wish to use
	the NT form of encrypted passwords, you also have
	to have an entry for the user in the smbpasswd file.
	As security=domain requires encrypted passwords,
	I'm afraid you're stuck with it!

	I run inside a firewall, and so don't use domains.
