<snip!> Well, that was the problem. I set the workgroup and the netbios to the same name, which was causing the "duplicate name" error. Not sure why the old install worked just fine with netbios and workgroup set to the same thing. Anyway, we can now log on to the domain without the error. There are still problems, though ... the authenication procedure is incredibly slow -- and the reason we got a new server was so it would be faster. Tomorrow, I will make sure all the users are created with the same uid on the new server, and then convert our old smbpasswd to tdb format. -- /home/modus/.signature Mon Sep 19 18:19:45 EDT 2005 The Moon is Waning Gibbous (95% of Full) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
