this is good.

hmm, this shouldn't happen.  ok, try this:

use \\\\mywks -U administrator -W mywks

this will force mywks to verify administrator against the *local* SAM
database.  i'm certain that if you renamed the administrator account on
the local workstation to something _other_ than the same name as the
Domain Admin account on mypdc, this would not be necessary [specifying a
Domain name of mywks].

please let me know if this works.

it's a warning.  don't worry about it.

because the client code in TNG now supports SMB over port 445.  the server
code (smbd) is a little trickier, so i disabled it there (it didna' wurk
:( )

um... because you specified use \\mywks -U administrator [same name?]

i don't know.  if that's the case, it's a bug!

*sigh*.  this _really_ needs to be sorted out, and it's not simple, so
i've been avoiding it.  i know how long it would take to sort out the code
involved in this (passdb/*.c, groupdb/*.c) if i tackled it.
 
thx george.
