Yes good point. Since this seems to be something to do with samba shares, the user '3000000' is probably the uidNumber of a user in a windows domain. Linux can use AD as an LDAP server if you want to set it up. I think you also need 'services for Unix' or something setup in your AD as well. With that setup, the getent command will see the username/UID mappings. You can also find out the username associated with UIDnumber 3000000 by doing an LDAP query on AD. ldapsearch -x -h ad-server uidNumber=3000000 But, that just the simplest query. A lot more needs to setup like default DN info. Also you will probably have to bind the the AD server as a user [-D binddn] [-w password] switches for the query to work. And this all assumes you have the 'services for Unix' installed on your AD server. There may be a simple samba like way to do things that I don't know. -- Norman Gaywood, Computer Systems Officer University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia ngayw...@une.edu.au Phone: +61 (0)2 6773 2412 http://mcs.une.edu.au/~norm Fax: +61 (0)2 6773 3312 Please avoid sending me Word or Power Point attachments.
