[Samba] Machine Accounts

[Roberto Mason]

I'm not using smbpasswd  -a... , but trying through xp to add the machine
to the domain. When in Computer Name Changes window I specify the domain
<MEPHISTOPHELES>, and then I'm prompted for the administrator
username/password <MEPHISTOPHELES\root and <passwd>> I get the unkown
username/password message.

> are you saying you can't do smbpasswd -a -m user or that you can't add
windows 2000/xp to a domain?
