[Samba] Re: Login Failure

[Norman Zhang]

Hi,

After more googling, I found that many users seem to experience the same 
problem when upgrading from Samba 2.2.x to 3.0.x. But there isn't a 
solution yet. In Samba 2.2.8a, I have no problem of logging to the box 
using local root password. I managed to tricked box by creating a root 
user with same password on my NT domain. But it only works if I don't 
reboot my server. May I ask is someone looking into this?

Regards,
Norman
