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.

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.
