    Here is the  problem: 
     
    I have several W2k Workstations, with a SAMBA 2.2.3 PDC.

     
    Problem is that I must have removed all of the important
parts of the 
server validation.   
    Here's the story:  OUTLAND is domain, W2k/ clients are milo

 and lola 
     
    They WERE working fine on the domain.  I did SOMETHING (??)
and now I 
get a message that says (when I try and log on: The system cannot
log you 
on to this domain because the system computer account in its
primary
domain
 is missing or the password on that account is incorrect. 
     
    now:  I tried to delete the machine accounts (milo$ and lola$)
  using userdel and smbpasswd -x to eliminate all traces. 
     
     
    Tried to change out of domain, changed machine name, log
in: still no 
good, same messages. 
    Then I tried the same thing, but this time also deleted the

   secrets.tdb file.  Then did a smbpasswd to add  the root account
again.
 
    STILL same problem 
     
    HELP!  I have no idea what to do! 
     
    The last thing I tried was to to change the machine name
and out of
the  outland domain. 
     
    So I tried to change the name of the client to stevedallas,
and the 
workgroup to temp 
    That change worked ok.  After this, I logged in, ok (as admin),
and
was  then able to change back to outland domain. 
     
    Now I was able to log in as workstation/administator 
    and I added new user/browse and it did see the outland domain.

    I click my outland domain name, and next and the the message:

    The user could not be added because the following error 
has 
   occurred.  
    The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary
domain
 failed. 
     
    SO I am stuck without getting any user logins (at least I
can login
as
 admin...  
 
    please point me in the right direction??? thanks
