[2] PDC 2.2.2 - W2K - Computer Password Incorrect.

[Jeremy Cowgar]

Greg,

Unfortunatly, it does not work either way. I had it that way originally, and on some other configs I have seen it 
/dev/null, so I gave it a try.

To make sure, I removed my maching name gray$ from both /etc/passwd and my smbpasswd file, made it a -s 
/bin/false and still no go.

Anyone?

Thanks,
