AW: [Samba] Can't join my domain

Not a bad idea, but it didn't work in my case. :-(

My XP box has two administrator accounts now, 'root' and 'fran'.  My linux 
Samba server also has those two accounts, root of course, and fran as my 
regular user account.  I've added root to smbpasswd with a password 
specifically for samba.  I've also added fran to smbpasswd.

The odd thing is that if I try to join the domain as root, I get "user not 
found", if I try to join the domain as fran, I get "Access Denied".  You'd 
think it would be the same since they're both in smbpasswd.

I was watching log.nmbd, log.smbd, and /var/log/messages while attempting 
to join the domain, and I see a bunch of process_logon_packet messages from 
the XP client's IP, but no error messages.  Just some hex values like 0x12 
and 0x07 associated with the process_logon messages, do they mean anything?
