Hi all,
I use mysql as backend authentication for Samba.
it seems the samba can connect to the mysql database
but I can't get authentication.
when I type pdbedit -L
it shows my user account.
I think it is my samba configuration problem.
can anyone please give me a hand?
thank you.
here is my smb.conf ( I am running on samba 3.0.20b and mysql 5.0.16-r3)

| Although mysql is supported in samba it is not widely used and therefore not widely tested. If you plan to use this for a production system, I would strongly recomend you use an LDAP backend. |

yeah, I know, I googled it and couldn't find much helpful information.
the reason I use mysql is suppose simple compare to LDAP and I can use php to manage all the users.
anyway, thanks for responding.
I will try to dig more out from google then.
