[Samba] Continued: Join domain OK, but domain not found after reboot

[Gordon Pritchard]

Hi, all:

	To recap:

	I can successfully get my WinXP box to join the domain (WHITEROCK), but
after rebooting, when I try to log on:

"The system cannot log you on now because the domain WHITEROCK is not
available."

	I get this even when using the user 'root' - and this user was the one
to successfully join the domain WHITEROCK!!

	To rule out any stale junk, my WinXP is a *totally fresh* installation,
with only the sign-or-seal DWORD set to 0.

	The only thing I can see that arouses curiousity is this bit:

	To verify that LDAP is working OK, I certainly can SSH (or console) log
in.  So I *know* that I'm using valid user/password pairs.

	The final strangeness that I note, but have no clue how to deal with
it:

	from /etc/samba/smb.conf I have these lines:

   encrypt passwords = yes
   smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

	What role does the smb passwd file play when using LDAP?  Because...***
I have no /etc/samba/smbpasswd file ***.  I received no error message
when using 'smbpasswd -a -m fireball' or 'smbpasswd -w secret'...

	I'm confused.  I'm going bald from hair-pulling!

	Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

	-Gord
