hi all, i sucessfully did my net rpc join from my linux-clients, so they are in the samba-domain. But: how do i login into my domain if i am on the login into linux? i thought must be the form DOMAIN\user nevertheless what you defined in winbind. But, i always get the message "Username or Password wrong". 1) What am i doing false here? If i login as a regular user, i can go into the nautilus-network-browswer, where i can see my domain and (after a login) the machines inside. But i have no mountpoints there. 2) I don't really like mounting my samba-shares in /etc/fstab as i have afterwards usernames and passwords in cleartext inside. Those machines are used by several users. or 1+2) if i could login directly into my domain, could i do in /etc/fstab someting with variables in style like //server/share /home/U% smbfs rw 0 0 Thank you very much for your help. Cheers, Roger
