NT domain: errors in diagnostic tests 3 and 7+

[Jeremy Malcolm]

I've made a bit of progress since my first post, but not much. 
Anyway, I've already got some value out of this mailing list by
discovering the ORA book on-line.

found".

Now only (b) (although I think the actual error is in fact the
"network path" was not found, not the "share name").  Error (a) was a
silly mistake on my part I'm afraid which is now solved.  Also, there
are two of my defined shares that *don't* get the error - ie. the
clients can connect OK and without a password.  The ones that are OK
are:

 [cd_rom_j]
 	path = /mnt/cdrom1
 	read only = Yes
 	guest only = Yes
 	guest ok = Yes
 
 [cd_rom_k]
 	path = /mnt/cdrom2
 	read only = Yes
 	guest only = Yes
 	guest ok = Yes

The ones that are not OK (and yes I have checked that the paths exist,
including capitalisation) are:

 [programs$]
 	path = /mnt/mrdrives/programs
 	read only = No
 	guest only = Yes
 	guest ok = Yes
 
 [office$]
 	path = /mnt/mrdrives/Office
 	read only = No
 	guest only = Yes
 	guest ok = Yes
 
 [network$]
 	path = /mnt/mrdrives/Network
 	read only = No
 	guest only = Yes
 	guest ok = Yes
 
 [masters$]
 	path = /mnt/mrdrives/Masters
 	read only = No
 	guest only = Yes
 	guest ok = Yes

I should explain that these are existing share names on a Windows NT
machine that is being replaced with Samba, although I don't know why
that would make any difference.

I'm still getting these errors, but I would now speculate that this is
just because the user on the Samba system is not a user in the Windows
NT password database, so I guess these errors can be ignored (or I can
map the root user to the NT Administrator).
