[Greg J. Zartman]

Peter,

I agree with Richard.  I think you've bruised Samba's feelings.

Seriously:
I'm currently running Samba 2.2 as a PDC for a mainly Win2k network.  Once I
worked out the "kinks" using my test machine, I added the entire network to
the domain in about an hour, so the process does work.  90% of the time, if
I had a problem, it was obvious by reading the samba log file using log
level 2.   Also, make play around with the smbclient and smbstatus utilities
that come with Samba.  They are very good at telling you if Samba is
working.

If Samba is running good and you are still having problems, chances are it's
with name resolution.  I use WINS support on my Win clients with the Samba
PDC as the WINS server.  I also use the BIND DNS server as my main name
resolver on our network.  I am very diligent about making sure BIND is
working properly and resolving both external names and internal machine
names (I'm not sure how important this is to Samba)  One thing you might
verify on your client machines is that you don't have the Disable Netbios
over TCP/IP option selected on your Win2k clients.  This will goof up WINS
lookups.

Following is the smb.conf file that I use.  It may not be perfect, but works
for me.

Good luck.

Greg
