Hi all, thanks for your responses. It's now over a week later and i've re-installed to make sure it's not a RedHat magical if-you-don't-install-it-at-install-time-you-don't-get-the-right-config-files-setup issue. It's still not working, but i've found a new wall to bang my head against and its name is Kerberos.
i may be back :) m. -----Original Message----- From: mikee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 6 June 2007 4:13 AM To: Michael Cleghorn Subject: Re: [Samba] AD Integrated authentication On Mon, 28 May 2007, Michael Cleghorn might have said: > > Hello list, > > i'm going to try very hard not to rant here, but i've been trying to get > Samba working for 3 days, and it's just not happening.

I authenticate my users with OpenLDAP on my Fedora Core box. The FC box uses samba and samba does authenticate the remote share access. Below is a snippet of my current configuration.
