Hi there; I have samba-2.2.7a installed as PDC for Windows2K, XP, 98 (have not tested yet. It appears to work with 2K and XP. However, I have a few problems and I'd appreciate your comments. 1) net time \\linux /yes takes 30-40second on both 2K and XP 2) logging in on the server gives me the following errors: unix_clean_name [/wshENU.DLL] unix_clean_name [wshENU.DLL] call_trans2qfilepathinfo: vfs_stat of wshENU.DLL failed (No such file or direc tory) unix_clean_name [/wininet.dll] unix_clean_name [wininet.dll] call_trans2qfilepathinfo: vfs_stat of wininet.dll failed (No such file or dire ctory) unix_clean_name [/msapsspc.dll] unix_clean_name [msapsspc.dll] call_trans2qfilepathinfo: vfs_stat of msapsspc.dll failed (No such file or dir ectory) unix_clean_name [/schannel.dll] unix_clean_name [schannel.dll] call_trans2qfilepathinfo: vfs_stat of schannel.dll failed (No such file or dir ectory) unix_clean_name [/digest.dll] unix_clean_name [digest.dll] call_trans2qfilepathinfo: vfs_stat of digest.dll failed (No such file or direc tory) unix_clean_name [/shell32.dll] unix_clean_name [shell32.dll] call_trans2qfilepathinfo: vfs_stat of shell32.dll failed (No such file or dire ctory) unix_clean_name [net.EXE] unix_clean_name [/SNDVOL32.EXE] unix_clean_name [SNDVOL32.EXE] call_trans2qfilepathinfo: vfs_stat of SNDVOL32.EXE failed (No such file or dir ectory) unix_clean_name [/cmd.exe] unix_clean_name [cmd.exe] call_trans2qfilepathinfo: vfs_stat of cmd.exe failed (No such file or director y) (These files under c:\windows\system32) What did I overlook?

Why is that at next logon Windows still remembers drives connected with /no? Thanks Andras
