Domain logon problems with 10.Mar.99 CVS source

hi Stefan
nice to see you use samba at the ETHZ :)

did you a smbpasswd -a -m machinename?
you should have a line in your smbpasswd file like this:
noway$:1000:53B5EDC2147175CDC6774256E8D7F4CC:53B5EDC2147175CDC6774256E8D7F4C
C:[W          ]:LCT-362C56A8:

where noway is the name of your workstation ...
(there should also be a "user" noway$ in your /etc/passwd because otherwise
you can't smbpasswd -a -m machinename ...)
