[Samba] Domain Login

[Rick Jones]

I'm actually running SME Server (e-smith) v6, which integrates all the 
services with a central management system. Just dropping samba 3 in is not 
entirely trivial. I could probably work it out, but at some point I'll 
upgrade SME to v7 anyway which has later versions of everything, so I don't 
want to spend time frigging with the current system.

This machine has been running flawlessly for over 3 years, and it's just 
strange that suddenly it doesn't want to talk to one particular XP client. 
For now I've set up a matching local login on the PC and copied the profile 
over, and this is working well enough. I might try doing another XP repair 
to the PC if it becomes a real problem.

It would just be nice to know why :)

Thanks
Rick
