Marek, here is a working smb.conf built by hand that shows the basics. Double check your permissions of /home and /home/group on your box. Why are you exporting all home directories?? Permission will kill you there unless the files are all owned by a common group. Also, your password server=microsoft seems suspect. If it is a default samba install you are using the smbpasswd file. So you have to make sure each user has a Linux username/password (useradd) as well as a samba password (smbpasswd -a) Make sure the Linux and smbpasswd's are the same otherwise passwd chat won't be very happy. Anyway, here is my smb.conf:
Do i need winbind to be running ? smb and nmb are running ok. This is what i tried, no luck yet.
