OK, still having problems.

I set-up my host in /etc/passwd so an entry for trillian$
I then ran smbpassed -a -m trillian

The domain is FORD

when I go into the Network bit of SysInfo on  Win2K, I tell it
buinsess network, use a domain.

I then get prompted for an account I think on the local machine
(I have tried various combinations of local user/pass/TRILLIAN
user/pass/FORD and my login on the domain [I have local admin rights]).
It asks of rthe machine name (TRILLIAN) and the domain, then a
domain login (to register the machine) so I enter trillian/trillian/FORD
or combinations of ...

It always fails...
