Sometimes it takes a while for the brain to catch a clue :). ;), if I recall your setup correctly you don't have the windows "users" in LDAP.

You *can* add another LDAP server as slave to add redundancy but that's another story. grz Paul -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
