Hi
11.4
I've set up a samba server using Yast. It works. I can see the home shares on 
a linux client and I get asked for a username and password when I click the 
'homes' share e.g. from Dolphin by clicking network and then samba.

That's _almost_ what I want.

What I want it to do is use samba to authenticate linux clients like I do with 
NIS at the moment. There are no users apart from root on the clients and /home 
on the server is mounted as /home on the clients by NFS. The kde login screen 
on the client displays all the users on the server.

Using yast windows domain membership on a client I cannot check the box 'Use 
SMB information for Linux Authentication'. I get the error: 'Cannot use the 
workgroup 'hh1' for Linux authentication.'.

All linux users on the server have been given samba passwords and I have tried 
the server and client with firewall enabled and disabled.

My question is: can samba do what NIS/NFS does at the moment?

Thanks. L x

here is /etc/samba/smb.conf from the server:

# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.
