[Samba] XP join and logon

[Ross McInnes (Systems)]

Thats right, change the domain field to be the name of your domain/server.

the problem then is to add your machine to the samba server it needs to 
use a smb account with the correct permissions to do so.

I dont know if an account can be modified to work but root is an account 
that will work. The problem is root is not part or smbpasswd or rather it 
doesnt have an account with samba.

to add it to samba smbpasswd -a root will do so. then change the 
smbpassword for root to whatever password you want.

once you have this done you will then have an account with the correct 
permissions to add your computer to the domain.
