This past weekend I experienced something interesting. (Perhaps this is
already documented somewhere, but if not, here's notice:)
After triple-checking all settings and attempting unsuccessfully to join my
Samba-controlled domain with Windows 2000, I was left scratching my head for
a few minutes, until I took a chance and tried one last thing, which fixed
the problem.
My NT domain, which I had not been able to join, had been DAVE.LAN, but when
I changed that name to DAVELAN, joining worked quickly and flawlessly.
Perhaps a dot character in the NT domain name is not a wise thing with Samba
2.2alpha2?
