[Samba] Re: Your computer account was not found or the password was incorrect

Just out of curiosity.. I had a similar problem but only with W2K for
some reason I did not have to create a root smb account but for W2K I
did. Until I figured that out (from this list, thanks all) I got that
same error.
Are you using a root smb account to join the workstations to the network?
