smb- and UNIX passwords

[Jamie ffolliott]

The 2.4.x alpha's had problems like you mentioned, try alpha 2.5.  You'll
need to create accounts for your workstations in the passwd file, named
COMPUTER$, but these accounts can be disabled and don't need a password.
Then you can use NT's method of adding the workstation to the domain, via
the network control panel, provided you've created an administrator first.

See the TNG faq, http://www.kneschke.de/projekte/samba_tng/
