[Samba] XP Pro - Domain Login ... great trauma and sorrow

[Lew Aubrey]

I really think this is a Windows problem, but since my very good friend Bill refuses to return my calls ...


The client is WinXP Professional

The server is RedHat 7.1 with SAMBA 2.2.2-8

I have rtfm several times both the ENCRYPTION and PDC-Howto, and I think I have implemented all of the requisite registry and passwd/smbpasswd/smb.conf settings.

The client will happily JOIN the domain, but my efforts to LOGIN to the domain fail because someone/thing is unable to open passwd database.


If you know what I am missing (please be gentle), I would greatly appreciate a response.


Thanks
