Hi, Why on a file server S configured as "security = DOMAIN" of a PDC X domain D, the files are properties of S\user and not, as I would hope for, of D\user (same with groups) ? Thanks. Note: The 2 hosts (' X:PDC redhat7.3 samba 2.2.7x and 'S:solaris 8 samba2.2.8') are nisplus clients (same groups and unix users). -- Guy Roussin
