Domain: SNOWBUG
Server: STO-KERRIG
Wks: QUIRM

Pseudopolis, my original NT VMWare session has gone totally gaga on
me, so I have done a fresh one, containing NT 4, VMWare Toolbox and
SP4.

I logged in as SNOWBUG\root, no problem.  Logged out and tried to log in a
SNOWBUG\cathy.  "Domain not available".

Shut down NT.  Shut down Samba.  Start Samba.  Start NT.

Logged in as SNOWBUG\cathy.  No problem.  Log out and log in right
away as SNOWBUG\henry, no problem.  Repeat this about five times or
so.

Log in as QUIRM\Administrator to have a look at the logs.  The last
log I had open was the Security log, and when Event Viewer tries to
show it to me, I get a message saying "The handle is invalid" and asks
me do I want to select another server to administer.  All I can do is
quit Event Viewer.

I log out and try to log in as SNOWBUG\sneakums and I get the "domain
not available" error.

[ DIVERSION: I believe some of the weirdness I experienced using
  Pseudopolis can be explained by the fact that my original Samba set
  up was a work-group set up and that for each account
  PSEUDOPOLIS\sneakums, PSEUDOPOLIS\henry and PSEUDOPOLIS\cathy, there
  was a corresponding account on STO-KERRIG, with identical
  passwords. ]

I reboot the machine and log in as SNOWBUG\henry, having added him to
the Unix domadmin group, which is mapped to "Domain Admins", so that I
can look at the logs.  I notice one 3006 (SMB too short) in the System
log.  I select Security.  "Handle is invalid".  I go back to System,
and now there is *another* 3006!  I can keep doing this and every
time, I get a new 3006.

Here is the event detail again:

0060: 32 00 00 00               2...     


After all this, I log out and try to log in as SNOWBUG\cathy and I get
a "domain controller not found" error.

I hope you can make use of all this, cos I am just confused.

As ever, I have logs @ 100.  Holler if you want me to look for
something in 'em.

Paul.
