Well, we did that, and now I get the login prompt when I try to enter SWAT, 
but it fails with "authorization failed. retry?" dialog in Netscape, then 
"401 Bad Authorization username or password incorrect" on the screen.

We are testing Samba, and have not gone (thankfully) into production yet!

RH6.2
Samba 2.20 RPM  off of the Samba site.

I am now also unable to log into my Domain or manually map drives (which 
was working fine before the upgrade) and I am seeing these lines in the 
log.smbd:

[2001/04/20 09:48:04, 0] passdb/pampass.c:pam_accountcheck(381)
  PAM: Account Validation Failed - Rejecting User!
[2001/04/20 09:48:04, 0] passdb/pampass.c:pam_accountcheck(381)
  PAM: Account Validation Failed - Rejecting User!
[2001/04/20 09:48:04, 0] passdb/pampass.c:pam_accountcheck(381)
  PAM: Account Validation Failed - Rejecting User!

But we are NOT using PAM.  It is installed  - pam-0.72-20.6.x according to 
rpm -q, but we are not using it for Samba

Could SWAT not working be tied into this other problem?

TIA
