FQDN permission problem when not on domain

[Bill Fancher]

I have certain laptops which run local programs on and off
our network. When users (while offline) try to access a
share using fqdn ie.\\localmachine\share they are denied
access even though they just created the share
themselves. If they are connected to the domain they
connect no problem. I looked at lmhost and tried to
create an entry using 127.0.0.1 for the address and
localmachine for name. This did not help beccause the name
is resolving but permissions to shares are denied.

Obviously this is a permissiion problem where the local
machine cannot authenticate these users but all are
localadmin on machine and everyone has specific permission
to the drive and folder.

Any suggestions?

-Are these users logging on with local accounts on the machine, when not
connected, or with cached domain credentials?
- What are the entries in ACL (NTFS and share) ?? Does it list domain
accounts/groups or local accounts/groups? (for example your local groups
may contain domain groups/users but you grant permissions to the local
groups... the more elegant way of doing things.)
