Having got a little further through the debugging session, I now read in
the manpage for smb.conf that Windows NT doesn't supply a password to
Samba. My backup server is WinNT and needs access to the Samba shares to
back the data up; it's also the PDC, so is theoretically the source for
password confirmations. How does this one work - can a PDC in fact supply a
password for itself, or should I be asking if there's a more secure way to
grant it access than using 'hosts equiv'?
Many thanks,
Vicky Clarke
