Samba PDC will not accept NT login

[Richard Ferris]

Thanks for the reply Maria.  I'm running Samba version 2.0.3 on an SGI IRIX
6.5 machine.  After I've logged into the NT Workstation locally I can then
connect so I'll do that until I can download the latest CVS.

I have the same problem. On which machine qre you running samba? And
which version of samba? I've tried Samba on Solaris (Sparc) and Linux, 
on Solaris I've got the same results you got, and on Linux it  worked.

Someone told me that Samba 2.0.3 doesn't work as PDC on Sparcs, and I 
should try the CVS 2.1 alpha version.

I hope it helps,

Maria
