I have gone in circles with this to the point I'm now confused... so
sorry if this has been answered or is somewhere in the docs, cause I
have definetly missed it. I have set samba up numerous times for nt4
server, this is the first w2k.
I have a windows 2000 server, several mixed platform clients. I can't
seem to get the unix machines to authenticate to the w2k server, unless
I add an entry for the user into smbpasswd file. is this the only way it
can be done? The machine added to the domain fine. I include the output
of some commands that seem relevant:
./smbclient -L localhost -N
INFO: Debug class all level = 3 (pid 3330 from pid 3330)
added interface ip=192.168.150.242 bcast=192.168.150.255
nmask=255.255.255.128
added interface ip=192.168.150.11 bcast=192.168.150.127
nmask=255.255.255.128

There is no Master, that seems wrong to me. It should be thanatos
when I run the same command to the w2k server (thanatos)
./smbclient -L thanatos -N
INFO: Debug class all level = 3 (pid 3338 from pid 3338)
added interface ip=192.168.150.242 bcast=192.168.150.255
