I have about 3000 read/write users on that server. About 30 shares (besides homes) and (too) many faculty barking at me when their stuff doesn't work as they expect it, too. (Mind you, if the program is working correctly, but it violates their expectations, they bark and bark and bark...) Apparently 3.0a17 no longer uses the: # smbpasswd -j MYDOMAIN -d MYPDC syntax of generating a MACHINE.SID (this is a Win2k Domain) --and I may have the -j -d stuff backwards, there, I don't have the docs in front of me at the moment: but it uses a sparingly documented (from my under-the-gun perspective) "net join" command. I was very glad to find out that 3.0a17 respected the 2.24 MACHINE.SID and let all my shares flawlessly Samba on down the road. I LOVE the new features of Samba 2.2.x-->Samba3.x, but sometimes I long for the old, featureless (but bulletproof) days of Samba 2.0.7. Having said that, I truly believe that Samba 3.x is the coolest thing since 2.0.7 sliced bread. Now, if only I had an AFS client that worked... :-) Tim Kellers CPE/NJIT On Thu, 6 Jun 2002, David Kelly wrote: > On Thursday 06 June 2002 08:57 pm, Tim Kellers wrote: > > Samba 2.2.4-1 drove me so crazy with it's refusal to authenticate > > anyone to ANY share, that I pkg_deleted it (kept the MACHINE.SID), > > and I've been happily, errorlessly using Samba 3.0a17 ever since. > > (Ever Since about 10 days ago) > > Actually I haven't had any problems autheticating users.
