Still have logon problems

[Jamie ffolliott]

Hi Tom,

You will need to create a Domain Administrator account, and use this account
to add the workstation to the domain.  This works recently with
samba-tng-alpha 0.15 (from monday this week) or later.  (Note: this does NOT
work with samba 2.0.X)

There's two examples of how to do this, one from Lars' page:
http://www.kneschke.de/projekte/samba_tng/faq/administrator.php3

Or,
Follow the instructions in the ntdom faq:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/ntdom_faq/page4.html#4-3-1
- this method actually lets you login as 'root' or Administrator, where
'root' is just mapped to Administrator.

I prefer the second method, personally.

If these don't work, it helps to copy your smb.conf and related map files in
your email and forward to the list.

cheers,
Jamie
