Fwd: [Samba] machine account with strange behaviour

[oliver.brockmann at numeris.de]

thanks for the hint! I did the following: In smbpasswd
the machine account had flags WU. I removed the U flag and
now it's no longer listed in the mmc. I'm monitoring the problem
with the shares and will report later on...

cheers, Oliver
