Even if I have a configuration problem, I shouldn't expect the core dump
should I?
Here's the result of 'testparm -s'...
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[IsrAlgorithmData]"
Loaded services file OK.

These may not be accessible to some older clients.

Am I "missing an idmap configuration option that maps the other windows

Thanks for the help Craig,
