I [b]do[/b] have it set up so that the Unix IDs synch with the Samba IDs... I need that, in order for the machines to find their proper shares... don't I? Um. Hrmmm... all of the users (basically, me and my wife) have (non-admin) accounts on Darklord, and THEORETICALLY when we log in through samba it's supposed to synch with those accounts.

Is there another way of doing it?

Samba is an incredibly useful feature that I find I dislike mightily. :)
