[Samba] WinXP registry problems on SMB PDC

[David Buechler]

Hi all,

     I recently moved off of an ancient NT4 PDC to a SMB PDC running Samba
3.0.4-1 on a RH9 box.  I had absolutely no troubles joining the domain, and
other than a few login quirks every now and again, it is stable.

     I am, however, experiencing what I believe to be a permissions issue with
the user profiles... my own, included.  I am unable to make registry changes,
most notably with regards to Norton Antivirus.  All users are currently in a
group mapped to Domain Admins, as most of the profiles had difficulties loading
without it...  After a long weekend of profile copying, I figured that I'd
cross that bridge later.  Regedit gives me a message, "Error opening key" while
navagating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec.

      I'm almost certain it's a permissions problem, but I have been unable to
locate the source of the problem.  Any help you could offer would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
