That is what I had thought. But I just could not get it work - always got login failure: no matter how I set sambaSID/sambaPrimaryGroupSID values according to different sambaDomain values; no matter if I deleted and recreated secrets.tdb and/or other cached samba TDBs in /var/lib/samba directory. I am running Debian Etch with samba v3.0.24 by the way. I also tried with CentOS v4.4 with samba v3.0.10 to the same error. Note that it works when I set the samba server as a PDC or BDC, with LDAP backend, but I do notice that I need wait for a while before I cam actually access the samba shares. I did not figure out exact time I need wait, but it worked after few hours' waiting. This delay is necessary even I tried accessing from localhost (i.e., smbclient //localhost/<username> on the samba+ldap server), I even start setting a new domain and clear all cached samba TDBs. The official samba docs say about delay (from 5 to 45 minutes? can't remember exactly), but that delay is necessary for network browsing. For my case I tried with wins support on the server, and I even tried to add entries into /etc/samba/lmhosts file, and I can confirm there is no delay for name resolutions by checking /var/lib/samba/wins.dat file. Additionally, if I tried to set a samba standalone server, with ldapsam backend, even I wait overnight, the samba login still gave me the same error. So I am not sure if the time delay is a related issue. So at moment I am stucked with the imcomplete domain mode setup, in order to get the samba authentication work. I really wish to switch to a workgroup mode, am still trying... Would appreciate any help or suggestion. Thanks, J ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
