Hi Jerry, Thanks for the help. I just removed the file and tried a restart. Same problem as before and same messages in smbd.log. No secrets.tdb created. I changed write permissions on this directory temporarily to make it world writable and tried again - with the same results. I'm basically only using samba for the print serving, so I'm not worried about the SID. Any other suggestions I can try?
