UNIX and SMB uids do not match

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hi Tod,
The logs are pretty clear;  the user test has a uid of 1021, NOT 1023 as the
smbpasswd file entry you are showing indicates.  Looking at the code, it's a
pretty straightfoward reading and parsing of the smbpasswd file that comes
up with the uid that the debug message is reporting.  So I would suggest
that you run testparm, and verify WHERE your smbpasswd file is being kept
("smb passwd file") parameter, or ADD that parameter to your smb.conf file
and point it specifically at the smbpasswd file you believe you are using.
If this doesn't work, remove the test entry, and readd it, to ensuer no typo
or hidden cahracter has slipped in.

Don

I have made the configuration changes that you suggested and still no luck,
any other thoughts?

There is a couple of things I would do if it were me. 

- Set the case sensitive to no.  Setting it to yes is a not-so-good 
practice as file names are treated in a case-incensitive manner under 
Windows.  The default is no. 

- Empty the value of the password server.  This parameter is not so 
useful unless the security is set to either server or domain.  If the 
security is set to user, as in your case, you don't need to use this 
parameter. 

I would do these things first just to make sure that they are not the 
cause of the problem. 

Hope this helps.
