server not setup for transactions

[Stuart Fraser]

I have tried numerous times to get PDC working but with the same problem 
occuring over and over.  (Thank you to those who tried to help on that 
issue).  So I decided to try a simple non-pdc samba setup so I could see my 
linux box in my workgroup.  My non-PDC smb.conf and PDC smb.conf are found 
below.  I use Samba2.2.1a and Mandrake8.0.  My client is Win XP with passwd 
encryption on and the suggested "domain member: signature.... (always)" 
option disabled.

I can now see the linux machine and my own computer in "Network 
Neighbourhood" which was more than when running as PDC. But when I try and 
browse the linux machine I still get the message "\\Ds7 is not accessible. 
You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the 
.....  The server is not configured for transactions".  Same as the previous 
messages but before "\\Ds7 is not..." was replaced with "UQI is not..." and 
I couldn't browse the linux machine or see my computer which joined the 
domain fine.

This leads me to believe if I can fix the "server is not configured for 
transactions error" with the plain old setup I will be able to run it fine 
as a PDC as the error is the same.

Any help would be most appreciated
