[Samba] W2K and WNT work but not WXP after migration

[Kang Sun]

Greetings!

    As suggested, I tried the samba-3.0.6. After migration, I got user's 
passwords
work and groups properly populated

    I have three VM machines running NT, 2000, and XP respectively, after 
migration,
NT and 2000 are still in the domain and authenticate users properly.

    However, the XP machine complains it cannot find the domain: "The 
system cannot
log you on now because the domain <domainname> is not available."

    Apparently, the domain is working properly because the other two VM 
machines find the
domain promptly and the XP mahince can sign-off and rejoin the domain 
without problem.

    What I can think of are
        1. XP machine password is not migrated properly.
        2. XP requres more than NT and 2000 to recognize the domain.
        3. Something simple was not set properly for XP.

        I disjoin the XP from the domain and rejoin it to domain again. I 
notice the 
some difference other than the obvious sambaNTPassword. Notes that start 
with "##" are
my comments.

        Could you please suggest what I should try next? Thanks!
