[Samba] [LONG] Can't see the XP shares in my linux samba acting as aPDC

[Daniel Armbrust]

Do you want anonymous access, or username/password access to the XP
machines?

If you want username/password access to the machines, have you checked
to make sure you are using encrypted passwords on the samba server?

If you are using anonymous shares, have you been able to access one XP
machine from the other anonymously (meaning, you use an account on one
machine that doesn't exist on the other, and still access the shared
files) - If this doesn't work, you need to figure XP first, as it is
your problem, not samba.  

Personally, I never muck around with all these config files... Install
webmin (www.webmin.com) on the machine, and then have a decent GUI to do
the work for you.  It has a nice configuration module for samba.

I don't know all the steps offhand for enabling anonymous access in XP..
(I'm not even sure which ones are required, and which ones aren't, but I
have see a lot of different things that could disable anonymous access.

The duckman login of my smbpasswd, the duckman login of XP that I added
and 
both didn't work, also I have putted all the passwords equal, the
smbpasswd 
db and their pass in XP

Could you tell me what do I need to check in order to get anonymous
listing 
like share mode in samba?

Gonna try that but I guess it won't work cuz I still don't know what the
error 
means.
