Win 2000 and Samba

[William Jojo]

I'd like to understand this too...perhaps I've missed a few threads of
conversation, but as I understand it doesn't Win2k use Kerberos 5 as it's
default authentication mechanism? Could someone dispell any myths about
this?...also the TNG code hasn't compiled in weeks on AIX 4.3.x any insight on
when that stuff will work?

We would also like to make Win2k join a Samba domain...but we've been
exceptionally unsuccessful.

		Wondering what our dreams might be worth

		  Learning that we're only immortal...
