[Samba] Samba 2.2.8-1 as W2k Member server

Andre,

	Take a look at your old smb.conf file, if you still have it
available. I believe that you have a setting difference regarding
authentication that is causing your issue. 

	We don't allow access to anyone that doesn't have an account on
the domain. So, our smb.conf is configured to disallow "guest" and
"nobody" accounts. Perhaps yours is configured in that fashion as well.

	Good luck.

Hello Robert

Thanks for your mail.

The thing is, that it worked in exect the same configuration before
(Samba
2.2.7a).

I don't want Samba do be part of any kind of domain controllers, I just
want
it to offer services (printer) to active directory users.

I'm not sure, but I think, that's why anybody, who does not have an
samba
account uses the user "nobody".

I had this issue with 2.2.7a before, but can't remember how I solved it
:-(

Rgds.
	Andre
