I'm not using a w2k domain controller ... i'm using samba as pdc ...
and by the way .. i have succeeded .. my w2k machine is now a part of
my domain ... but i can't log in with an normal user account .. it
exists in the smbpasswd file .. it reports that it can't log me on
because i have supplied the correct password .... could it be because
i added the user account when samba was using unencrypted passwords ???

just a quick little question here on the side line ....
is it possible to access the samba server from the web, ie.
log in on the pdc and work with it as it im logged in via the
lan ?????
