When you untar the source file, you will have a file called
WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg in the following directory
/samba-2.2.7/docs/Registry
In XP use the Start Menu, Run and in the dialog, run this file
WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg and it will make the necessary changes to your XP
registry to allow you to have the WinXP machine join the Samba domain.
This is a requirement and this is the "patch" I mentioned.

What patch are you referering to. Also the samba 2.2.7a release
specifies a change of requiresignoreseal=0. What is that for and is
that really needed.
Thanks,
Brett
P.S. I had problems when I tried to change the passwords to unencrypted
and am using the server with encrypted passwords.
