if your wanting to authenticate from the domain the easiest way is to do security=SERVER and set the password server to the PDC of the NT domain. You don't have to do security=domain. If you really do want to do security=domain(can you say why? I cannot see any advantage to using it). I believe you have to join the samba server to the domain(search google on this, its not a very straight forward process IMO). I have used security=SERVER to authenticate off NT4 PDCs for several years and its always worked flawlessly for me. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
