I did this once!! I tryed the hard way (using the conf files) and couldn't do it, then I try the easy way and it worked... I installed webmin and configure everything useing the website.... then looking into the smb.conf and winbind (nsswitch.conf) that webmin rewrote, It seems that I had to use a different group of users IDs: winbind uid = 16777216-33554431 winbind gid = 16777216-33554431 Those were the default range that worked from webmin, I tryed others like 10000-60000, and I couldn't get it to work.... so, that's what I know... hope this helps. I just tryed this because I read it was posible (Linux and Windows 2003 Domain), but I'm not useing it, it was an experiment, but it seems that I'm gonna have to do it again when my company buy the parts of a NAS server wich I will have to assemble and configure --- Tim Holmes <tholmes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> escribió: > Hi Folks: > > I am continuing to work with samba on FC3 for use as > a file server etc. > > I have set up my server according to the > instructions on > http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/FastStart.html#id2535778 > > Here is my smb.conf file ....... > The specific problems that I am having are: > > 1.
