I have a question regarding samba
I have a PDC I would like to use to do user/passowrd valaidation to
I have the following in my smb.conf that does not work
security = SERVER
password server = CNGDOM01
name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast hosts
if I change the password server to its known ip (found with nmblookup -M
CNGDOM01)
it works. why does samba not nmblookup on the name given in the smb.conf?
I should not have to use the ip...
any ideas?

Yes.
Do you have these set in your global section?
null passwords = yes
# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation.
# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
With smbclient use:
smbclient //elmo/apps -U xxxxxx -N
where xxxxxx is the username.
Just type smbclient for it's syntax.

Has anybody had success getting Samba set up so that (some) ids can get
in without passwords?
Even when using local smbclient such accounts seem to always be
rejected.
