[nflug] Samba/MySQL Woes

[Robert Wolfe]

Good afternoon all.

Trying to get Samba working with MySQL for an authentication backend.  
However, not having any luck.  When O go to start Samba, I get the 
following log.smbd:

[2008/08/15 14:03:58, 0] smbd/server.c:main(847)

Here is the relevant smb.conf file section:

[global]
        passdb backend = mysql:localhost

        localhost:domain column = 'LOCALDOMAIN':
        server string = samba file services at LOCALNET
        security = USER
        encrypt passwords = No
        update encrypted = No
        allow trusted domains = Yes
        null passwords = No
        localhost:mysql host = localhost # can be changed to remote host
        localhost:mysql password =
        localhost:mysql user = root
        localhost:mysql database = samba_auth
        localhost:mysql port = 3306
        localhost:table = user

Any light anyone can shed on this would be greatly appreciated.
