All seems to be working correctly now except I have to rejoin all of the machines to the domain but that happens anytime I upgrade. Also it seems that my users no longer have thier roaming profiles. Here is a copy of my smb.conf [global] smb passwd file = /etc/samba/passdb.tdb enable privileges = yes logon drive = H: domain master = yes encrypt passwords = true logon home = \\%L\%U netbios name = ARDVARC server string = Gaudior's PDC logon script = logon.bat local master = yes workgroup = GAUACA logon path = \\%L\%U\profile os level = 99 security = user add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false \-d /dev/null %u preferred master = yes domain logons = yes hide files = /desktop.ini/ guest account = nobody map to guest = bad user wins support = yes [staff] comment = staff share drive path = /home/staff/share read only = no ;valid users = [student] comment = student share by level path = /home/stdnt/share read only = no [netlogon] comment = Net Logon Service path = /home/netlogon read only = yes write list = root ;public = yes guest ok = yes browsable = no [homes] comment = Home valid users = %S read only = no browsable = no -- Mathew E.
