I'm no Samba expert, I'm a newbie. I do know a thing or two about
site-wide authentication, though, which is what my post was about. I
suspect that what you want has nothing to do with smbclient, but rather
making sure that the Mandrake and Knoppix client servers know who owns
the files/directories. If you're using LDAP for your user database, this
should be simple enough? Or not? There's no way the client machines can
know what's in /etc/passwd on the server.
