Yup, I've run into a similar situation. The Samba server was running in workgroup mode (not domain controller) for quite some time before it was converted to a domain controller. After that change, when I'd log in with pre-DC accounts, the userdomain would be the name of the samba server, not the domain. To fix it, I converted the passdb backend from tdbsam to smbpasswd then back again. --Jon Johnson Sutinen Consulting, Inc. www.sutinen.com (360) 270-9317 cell Greg Fischer wrote: >I am not logged in locally.
