We set up samba on psyche this week using server=domain security. I had a user set up a linux user account using their NT user account and password. Linux complained that the password was too short, so they used a different password. When they accessed their /home directory on the linux server from a windows 2000 workstation where they were logged in with their domain user account, they got full access to their /home directory, e.g. could write to it. I was suprised. How could this be when the passwords are not the same? -Basil
