I have finally get it working, without knowing exactly why what I did before didn't work. It seems to be a configuration problem, which fuzzles me a lot. Basically, my config is as follows:
<=========================v=v=v= Config =v=v=v=========================> 1>> [global] 2>> workgroup = AlwaysBIG 3>> encrypt passwords = false 4>> root preexec = /bin/echo %T: CONNECT: service:%S path:%P by [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> /var/log/samba/log.connection 5>> root postexec = /bin/echo %T: DISCONNECT: service:%S path:%P by [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> /var/log/samba/log.connection 6>> 7>> [homes] 8>> comment = Home Directories 9>> browseable = no 10>> writable = yes 11>> create mask = 0700 12>> directory mask = 0700 13>> valid users = %S <=========================^=^=^= Config =^=^=^=========================> The situation is like this: I have winbindd running, and I have a smb.conf like the above. If I keep line 13 ("valid users = %S"), I wouldn't be able to connect to my home directory. But if I comment it out, it will just work fine. Please note that I am using plaintext password here. Is that the cause?? Please also note that line 4 and 5 above are just for some extra logging. I had this in my configuration with older version of Samba and it worked fine. But now, nothing is logged down. Any clue?? Also, whenever, I do "wbinfo -t", I get the following error message (with or without the "valid users" line in smb.conf): checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed error code was NT_STATUS_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_NOT_FOUND (0xc0000233) Could not check secret I also tried to turn on the debug level to 3 (as advised), but the log messages is just too massive, and I don't intent to include it here. Any clue?? Thx! -- Joe C.K.
