[Samba] Help with PDC on samba

[Buchan Milne]

Hi Robin,

You may want to take a look at this site:
http://www.mandrakeuser.org/connect/csamba6.html
(there may be a more up-to-date versio at
http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/muo/connect/csamba6.html)

I think you may have two problems:
1)Windows does not allow you to have two connections to the same machine
with different user accounts, so you need to make sure you have no
connectios before you join. The best option is usually to log in, and join
the machine as your first (or in the case on winxp, 2nd) action.

2)You may be up against the "signorseal" issue. Apply the reg patch
distributed with samba. Is should be in samba-doc as
docs/Registry/WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg

I normally just point IE at my own site
(http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/muo/connect/samba_xp_domain_member.reg)
and open the reg file from that location, since you can't really store
this on a network share ;-).

Finally, you may want updated RPMs for 8.2, you can find 2.2.5 on
ftp.samba.org, or others on my site
(http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/mandrake8.2), of course these are not
supported by Mandrakesoft (but they work great for me).

Regards,
Buchan Milne
