[Samba] [Fwd: SAMBA PDC Problems]

[K. C. Mohan]

Hi,

I am a newbie trying to make Samba work in my small home network. I have 
configured SAMBA on the Linux machine (RH 7.2, Enigma) as the Domain PDC.
When I attempt to log on from windows 9.x machine I get either of 
the following error messages. 

2. Your domain password is incorrect or the log on  server has denied access
   to you.
when I test the configuration by typing

1. smbclient -NL //win.9x machine, I get all the shares registered.

2. smbclient -NL //linux server, I get the following error message.

session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password 
pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.). 

When I check the log file the following message is appended to the log.
[2002/02/19 21:15:48, 0] smbd/password.c:server_cryptkey(1117)
password server not available

I am reproducing the global section of smb.conf file below:
