Help! Unknown error. Boss is gonna kill me. You cannot view the list of users at this time. Please try again later.

[Jason Osborne]

I have had a recurring error with samba for the past couple of days and for
some reason I can't figure out what the problem is. I am running a Linux box
running samba 2.0.7, windows nt terminal server 4, and windows 98 on three
boxes. The nt box is set up as a pdc and each other box has a computer
account. The samba server, when started, logins into the domain. The samba
server then acts as a normal system except it does do domain logons for
95/98. I have my windows 98 box setup to get a passwd list off the domain
soholan (i don't know if this helps, but when i change it, it says that the
domain could not be found and asks me to choose domain or server. I choose
domain). When I go and try to add users to shares on my Windows 98 box, I
get an error stating: "You cannot view the list of users at this time.
Please try again later.". I have looked over the samba docs and did a quick
search of this mailling list but didn't find anything. Did I miss it
somewhere in the docs? How would I fix this and why does it happen? Thanks
in advance for all your help. My config file is included below.
