erm ...actually i ran something like samedit -S machinename -U root

do i have to use the . , or can i use my machine's name?

(on myconfiguration root doesn't have nt domain admin privileges, does that
matter?)

i also tried running samedit -S machinename -U user where user is a user
account with domain admin privileges, but that doesn't work. it gives the
same error.

can't connect to 255.255.255.255 port 139 and port 445 access denied. and
that it wasn unable to connect to /tmp/.smb.xxx/agent.


Geoff.
