using unix authentication (/etc/passwd)

How are you adding users? You don't seem to have an add user script! Look at the sample smb.conf files in the HowTo collection or the Samba by Example - both at www.samba.org. Also, you almost certainly want to encrypt passwords.

I recommend installing SWAT if you haven't done so already and use its wizard to set your box up as a domain controller (since that seems to be how you want to use it).

Hi when using samba version Version 2.0.5a (I didn't compile) I never had to explicitly set up samba users with smbpasswd -a.
Since upgrading to version 3.0.22 I now have to add each user otherwise I get the following in the logs

[2006/06/15 14:20:46, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(317)
check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [richard] -> [richard] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER

When setting up I simply copied over the old version of smb.conf that I used to use.

I've tried setting encrypt password = no but this doesn't make any difference.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Rich
