Many thanks! I already had tried that, it's somewhere below in my much
too-long previuos mail (BTW, this information should maybe go into
Lars Keschke's FAQ and in source/README, shouldn't it?):

Today, I deleted the .../private/OLYMP.* files and included an
"interfaces = ..."  option in smb.conf which was missing:

   netbios name = PANDORA3
   interfaces = 192.168.1.8/255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 

(192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0: vmware net, 192.168.1.8/255.255.255.0: my
"real" network card, not connected to other machines in the moment)

Afterwards I re-generated the machine entries in smbpasswd and then
got the following message when giving the "smbpasswd -j OLYMP":

  Joining Domain as PDC
  socket connect to /tmp/.smb.0/agent failed
  error connecting to 192.168.1.8:445 (Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt)
  2000/01/12 10:43:14 : change_trust_account_password: Changed password for domain OLYMP.
  Joined domain OLYMP.     

("Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt" = "rejected to establish connection";
from where comes this German message?! My inetd? I uncommented
everything in hosts.allow/hosts.deny and HUPed inetd, but no change
occurred. telnet to port 445 doesn't work. Who should be listening
there?) 

There is nothing like ".smb.0" in /tmp. Do you have any idea what's
going wrong? Which additional information do I have to send?

Many thanks for your attention & patience!
Ulf
