dificulties to log in domain

[Mike Harris]

Don't know whether this helps, but suddenly it works for me:

PERSEUS - Samba 2.1 TNG Server
NT4WKS-1 - NT 4 Workstation

Domain is MYDOMAIN

Commands:

smbpasswd -a -m PERSEUS
smbpasswd -j MYDOMAIN
smbpasswd -a -m NT4WKS-1

The 'join' command now works fine and then the NT4 Workstation can join the
domain and browse.  Here's my smb.conf global settings for reference.

        workgroup = MYDOMAIN
           netbios name = PERSEUS
           interfaces = 192.168.100.2/255.255.255.0
           bind interfaces only = Yes
           encrypt passwords = Yes
           username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/smbusers
           log level = 5
           announce version = 5.0
           printcap name = /etc/printcap
           domain logons = Yes
           os level = 34
           wins support = Yes
           printing = bsd
           vfs option =

   [homes]
           guest ok = Yes
           vfs option =

   [public]
           path = /home/public
           guest ok = Yes
           vfs option =

Hope that's useful,

Mike.
