Hello people! I have set up samba guided by "The Unoffical Samba HOWTO, by David Lechnyr". But for the last 3 hours i have been banging my head into the wall. So i ask for youre help! The problem is that the WinXP clients fails to join the domain with the error message: FROM WINXP: "The specified network password is not correct" FROM LOG: "[2003/01/29 23:27:03, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(563) Can't become connected user!" I run FreeBSD 4.7 and ive added the users by: vipw and smbpasswd -a USERNAME, and added the machine accounts the same way but with $ in the /etc/passwd and -m on smbpasswd. Any ideas? cheers safl

The samba server is an AMD cpu running RH7.3. I followed the procedures set out in the combined samba docs at http://au1.samba.org.samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf and had no problems. The only additional step was to apply the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetLogon\Parameters\requiresignorseal fix and set it to 0 to the registry on each XP workstation you want in the domain. Make sure that root is a samba user (doesn't need the same password as for root on the server) and when asked for a domain admin to add the workstation to the domain use root with the samba password. XP Home cannot join a domain. Hope this helps. Neil email: neil@neologix.net ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/
