I am working on setting up proxy authentication on a SAMBA server and I get a bit of a snag in regards to the authentication. I did some command line trouble shooting for smb_auth and here is what I got... smb_auth -W DOMAINNAME -d k k Domain name: DOMAINNAME Pass-through authentication: no Query address options: Domain controller IP address: 199.x.x.x Domain controller NETBIOS name: PDC_SERVER Contents of //PDC_SERVER/NETLOGON/proxyauth: ERR It is strange, proxyauth is there, and I opened up the permissions, and verified "allow" was in the file. Still no go. I have seen this problem posted, but in those cases it was a missing or empty proxyauth file.
