workgroups with samba virtual server

[emeric jarnier]

Hi again,

the configuration given next works fine. I have one more problem though, i
can't make my winnt computer join either domain i created.
I have the account for the computer in the passwd, smbpasswd and shadow
but still it cannot work. It seems to be the last problem for me because
otherwise i can see all the servers i created and browse their shared
ressources. Any ideas??
I am going to upgrade my samba to 2.2.2 since i was using the 2.0.10

Thanks a lot guys
