Problems logging onto domain

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

matthew, thanks for your encouragement.

createuser accountname, by default, creates a disabled account with no
password.  otherwise, this would be a security risk.

samuserset accountname -p password does not re-enable a disabled account,
it just sets the password

samuserset2 accountname -c 0x5 is what you are looking for (i believe).
this will clear "no password required" and "account disabled".


do a samuser accountname -u and the Account Control Bits should show up
as: [U     ].

_prior_ to the samuserset2 -c 0x5, it will look like this: [UXD     ] -
usr account, no password, acount disabled.

luke

p.s i _will_ get round to writing a better syntax for samuserset2, unless
someone beats me to it.

p.p.s  you can alwawys hand-edit smbpasswd :)
