First of all hello to everybody on this list.

Question 1:

I´m having a little (?) problem with winbind. To be short here is the
situation: Runnign w2k AD on native mode. Linux box is Red Hat 7.2 with 2.4
kernel. Authentication from my W2K Active Directory server fails. I get
following outputs with commands-->

wbinfo -t -->
secret is bad
0x000001

wbinfo -u -->
Error looking up domain users

wbinfo -i 192.168.0.1 -->
192.168.0.1 PATRIX 	<-- This is my w2k server

wbinfo -h -->
could not lookup WINS by hostname

ping goes well with IP and name --> So ping PATRIX does work very well

Every test on DIAGNOSIS.txt turns out ok.

Joining domain also goes ok.

Actual logging with smbclient gives "NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" - message
followed by "Session request to PATRIX failed (Called name not present)"

Anyway, I can´t figure out what is the source of this problem. I have made
right (?) adjustments to the lmhosts and hosts file. I have tried various
different versions but same problem still persists.

So where is the problem? WINS? Firewall settings? smb.conf? Help me out
please.

Question 2:

Since I have tried various version of samba (including the one that came
with RH), I have started to wonder if all these problems above might be
occuring because of numerous different samba installations. So what is the
best way to remove samba and winbind from system ? Including not so obvious
files that are spreaded throughout the system.

As an epilogue I must really express my deepest respect to the Samba Team
and whole community about sucha groundbreaking work.

With best wishes,
