Hello,

> Is this server a PDC or standalone server?
this is a standalone server Ubuntu 10.04 lts, simple samba-setup for 
inetusers.

> What is the backend for samba accounts?
passdb backend = smbpasswd

we create the unix-accounts and after this we add the user to samba by 
smbpasswd -sa
i can see all users in the smbpasswd file.
hmm, i installed winwind, we dont use it but wbinfo -u shows all users incl. 
the users which wont work (NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER)

this is a mircale to me, only restart helps to get users to work.

Thanks,
Hajo
