Hi all,
Thanks for the help, actually I changed nothing but using latest CVS
from the SAMBA_2_2 branch.
My windoze XP can login to the Samba box even after retart ;-).
Things worked fine, of course you still to patch XP registry for the
requiresignorseal key.
Thanks a lot.

You mean you have "Disabled Secure Sign & seal always" ?

add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -d /dev/null -s
/bin/false -c Ma chine %m$
use the line above in smb.conf. to create m/c accounts automatically.
I have used 2.2.1a samba release.

You can use it as higher as 255. This is responsible when actual
election is going on whether SAMBA server has to act as PDC or what is
its weightage.

Do you really need this ? "host allow ". I would recommend to comment it
first and see. It actually denies the smb connection to these network
hosts. check it.
