Hi

 

I'm setting up a small samba PDC. smb.conf follows later on in the text.

I've created the computer name with the dollar sign in both passwd & smbpasswd.

The root password is in smbpasswd, but still i cannot login to the domain, it

gives me errenous password (from a win2k machine).

 

thanks in advance. (ye i looked all over google but i couldn't find anything)

Hello,
    cc'ing cause I don't don't if you are on the list. You have not
provided my with enough information for me to tell you what to try, but
here are some questions.
    Have you added the machine to the domain?  Right click on My
Computer | Properties | Computer Name | Change
    Have you added another user to the domain other than root and tried
to log in as that user? From you config file root will not be able to
log in.
