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

[Greg Wardawy]

Jeremy,

Let me copy my post I sent to Calvin. I'm having a "situation" here and have no time to type it again. HTH and here it goes:
###################################################################
I'm not a Samba expert and have just a trial and error experience. There are two things I can think about:
1. The add user script doesn't work from smb.conf - I switched my W2K from Domain to Workgroup and rebooted it,I deleted all Samba "regular" users from smbpasswd, recreated them (remember about root user with a different than system password) and created a trusted machine account from the shell. On the W2K machine I set the Domain Name via Network Identification->Properties (not via Network ID and this stupid wizard, I hate wizards) using root user with a different password  to join the domain. And everything was just fine, root.domainname profile has been created under Documents and Settings

2.It can be a problem with your routes in the routing table. I have a dial-up internet connection, one NIC and wanted to set Internet connection for my w2k machine (just for one at this time, to make it more readable).  I thought it's a good idea to make a static route between Linux and W2k boxes but I was wrong. I got an error saying something like this: "Domain server is down or your machine account was not found" . Everything is fine after removing the static route except reaching the Internet from W2k machine. I'll have to work on it.
Do you know any good sources about setting routes under Linux? I've read a lot but  can't figure it out.

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,
