WIN NT 4.0 NO GO & YES I HAVE ENCRYPTED PASSWORDS

[Gerry Maddock]

I thought it might have been some of the "optimizations" I added to
/etc/sysctl.conf,so I reverted back to the orinal sysctl.conf with no
optimizations straight off the RH7.1 install, rebooted and still nothing.
However, once I lost the "optimizations" I did notice a log.shadow, which
Shadow is one of the NT boxes I'm trying to connect from, but the log.shadow
was empty. Currently, I'm still running the default sysctl.conf from the
RH7.1 install (with no added "optimizations" just to rule this out....

I got a problem this week that may be related to your problem. I'd blocked
icmp to the PDC (RedHat 7.1 Samba 2.2.1a rpm). No problem to access the
server but when I tried to join the domain with a W2k I couldn't. I allowed
the icmp traffic and still couldn't join. When I restarted the smb daemon I
could join the domain as before.

Maybe this can help you.
