This means you will need to implement a shell script that converts names to lower case and strips spaces. The allow the shell script to call 'useradd' etc. The smb.conf parameter 'add user script' should be set up to call your custom script. - John T. rpc vampire -S ntserver -U Administrator%stacy182 --- everything seems to run fine however I do get could not create posix account info for 'machine name$' -- Regards, Schlomo -- John H Terpstra Samba-Team Member Phone: +1 (650) 580-8668 Author: The Official Samba-3 HOWTO Reference Guide, ISBN: 0131453556 Samba-3 by Example, ISBN: 0131472216 Hardening Linux, ISBN: 0072254971 Other books in production. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

If so, on SLES9 you need to do the following: a) mkdir /var/lib/smb-machines/ b) Set in your smb.conf the following: add machine account = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/flase -d /var/lib/smb-machines/%u %u i.e.: SLES9 will not allow creation of system accounts that have a /dev/null home directory.
