Joining Windows 2000 to Samba as PDC

[Hazen Valliant-Saunders]

Hello everyone:
	OK the message below let me just clarify i have a CVS'ed version of 2.2.0
now when you say odd length domains you mean the name right?? as in odd
length domain names so that makes us limited to 1 3 5 7  9 11 13 15 17
letter domain names??  Just want to know because my version won't accept
domain logons form two win2k Professional boxes, and i have configured them
all correctly.

Thanks again
Hazen

You won't get Win2K to join a Samba 2.0.7 domain, full stop.

You won't het Win2K to join a Samba 2.2.0-Alpha1 domain because of a couple
of bugs in it.

You can get Win2K to join a Samba 2.2.0-cvs domain, but only with
odd-length domains.

We are looking at the issue, but I won't have time to look into it until
next week or the week after.
