You could try mapping that user to another local (unix) user if you don't want to add miyuki as a local unix user. Also, have you told samba where the domain controller (doing network logons) is located? Otherwise, you may need to use security=domain to get it to work if you are not using a network logon server. All this is documented in the man pages and the faqs at samba.org. Cheers Tony -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
