Samba2.2alpha1

[Eric Pilger]

This is the exact problem that has been stopping me cold for months. I have
tried from a range of Win2K installations (old, new, patched, not). I have tried
smb.conf files ranging from my standard file to one taken directly from the FAQ.
I have treid a constant stream of updates and original installations from CVS.

What does this message mean? Is the "computer account" the machine name with a
$? I certainly am not using that account. I get this message using either my own
account, or root (which I have added to the smbpasswd file).
