NTDOM: Windows NT logon and browsing errors

Hello,


I have installed the latest version of the BRANCH_NTDOM Samba code (from CVS).
It compiled OK (my server machine is a Pentium PC Linux RedHat 4.1), but I am
not able to:

1. Browse the server from a NT Workstation or NT Server computer
   (it works if I browse from Win95, and if I issue commands like:
     net use x: \\server_name\share
   )

2. Set the domain of the NT Workstation to the Samba Server.

I really want to know if my setup was done correctly; in particular, I didn't
understand very well how to configure the 'guest' account, so this is the first
suspect for me ...
Is it necessary to have a guest account in the NT workstation ? What is the
password of this account ?

; Browser Control Options:
; Local Master set to True causes Samba to participate in browser elections
;       the default setting is true, this causes Samba to behave like a

; OS Level gives Samba the power to win browser elections. Windows NT = 32
;	Any value < 32 means NT wins as Master Browser, > 32 Samba gets it

; Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser
;	Only ever set this if there is NO Windows NT Domain Controller on the
;	network

The guest account in the smb.conf points to the nobody account. In the smbpasswd file I tried first 'as is', i.e, with X in the place of the password.
Then a decided to use NO PASSWORD, but it didn't work. I also tried to use
the guest account, with no success.


Thanks in advance,
