Ok. I'm running Samba and have used swat (samba gui tool) to configure
my smb.conf file. After I startup the daemons I can see the server from
my NT client however I am prompted for a user account and password when
I try to attach to a samba share. I've tried administrator (from the NT
domain) and root (from the unix box). I'm simply unable to get in. If
I setup "map to guest" and select "Bad User" then I can get in.
Thinking I am not authenticating to the PDC properly.
What I would like to do is basically have my NT users (4.0 and 2000) map
to my samba share and authenticate through my NT domain controller (PDC)
without creating an account on the unix side. Is this possible? I'm
getting the impression samba requires a unix account which would defeat
what I'm trying to build. A NT/UNIX single login solution.
We tried NIS but that is going with two login databases. I'm really
interested in maintaining one if possible.
Any ideas on what I've missed?
Here is my smb.conf file. It's pretty basic.
Thx
