Sorry for getting you confused. It's a 'incompatibility' (let's not call that a bug) between shadow-utils-4.0.3-40 and samba running as domain controllers. Trusted window$ hosts using the DC needs an user account to be created, that account must be ended with the $ (dollar) symbol. That's where the problem comes in. shadow-utils-4.0.3-40 does not allow $ symbol in usernames. If you a running a plain samba file server, you shouldn't worry about upgrading you shadow-utils. :) -- Joe On Mon, 06 Dec 2004 21:33:40 +0000, Ian Laurie <iml@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 12/07/2004 07:51:48 AM, A.
