[Samba] samba server as NT4 domain member- security=domain - needto create password db manually?

[Mark Le Noury]

Hi,

Looks like you are missing the 

password server = domain_controller_name 

Directive in the [global] section.


Thanks,

Mark

Hi

I want to set up a samba domain-member server with shares for office
users. I can see the samba server on the NT/Win2000 network.  I can
access the [data] share above - as it requires no authentication.  The
public and domain_user shares both ask for a username and password when
I try to open them from a windows machine.

As I am using our NT4 domain controller for user authentication I
shouldnt have to use encrypted files and create each samba user with
smbpasswd should I? Thats the point of telling samba I want to use
'domain' isnt it?  If I do wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g on the samba server I
see a list of the groups and useraccounts.

Can someone tell me what I am missing from smb.conf?  Do I need some
password backend in samba.

Thanks for any help

R.
