AW: [Samba] Login from win2k client to samba PDC

[Markus PISTAUER (CISC)]

Dear Eric,

thanks for your answer. I have non of the items you defined in the global
section. There is also no error in the log file. So I'm realy at the end of
my "know-how"  (if any ...)

My global section is:
---------8<---------
[global]
        workgroup = TEST
        netbios aliases = TEST
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        log level = 3
        log file = /data/samba/log/samba.log.%m
        max log size = 100
        max xmit = 17384
        domain admin group = @root
        logon script = logon.bat %U %G %L
        logon path = \\sambasrv\profiles\%U
        logon home = /data/samba/data/users/%U
        domain logons = Yes
        os level = 34
        preferred master = True
        domain master = True
        map system = Yes
        map hidden = Yes
---------8<---------

Thanks, any other hint is very welcome

Markus
