[Samba] Samba 2.2.6 bug with Windows XP

[Carmelo A. Zizza]

Brandon,

I believe the proper syntax for adding machines is smbpasswd -a -m
<machine_name$>, if that was a type try deleting the user you are using
to test with using smbpasswd -x <userid> and then read from the command
line smbpasswd -a <userid>.

I had problems with users id's created by SWAT when using WIN2K and
WINXP workstations.

Subject: [Samba] Samba 2.2.6 bug with Windows XP

Is this a bug or what...
Setup:
samba-2.2.6.p2_1 as Windows PDC
Installed via ports on FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE
on install I enabled Syslog support, Recycle Bin, and Quota support.
Everything installs properly
I created the groups machines:201, and admins:200.
Added every user with the command "smbpasswd -a <username>"
Also added every machine with this command "smbpasswd -a -m
<machine_name>"
Edited the password file via "vipw"
And added the lines in it corresponding
machine_name$:*:201:201::0:0:Machine account for a
machine:/dev/null:false

After that I created the following smb.conf file.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Started samba by uncomment the lines in /etc/inetd.conf associated smbd
and nmbd.
On the windows XP machines, I did the following.
Applied the sign_or_seal registry patch and proceeded to add them to the
domain.  The first machine went fine... Login, ran login.bat, and
Profiles copied back the samba server for roaming profiles when logged
out.

I proceeded to add another machine to the domain.  It added it to the
domain, but once I restarted the machine, I tried to login and "NO GO"
on both of the machines now.
Is there something I'm doing wrong when adding the second machine,
please tell me if I am, or tell me a way to fix this annoying problem.
Have tried Samba 3.0 too, and even older versions then the one I said
earlier.  I'm thinking this is a bug of some sort.
Any comments are appreciated.
