Hi guys and girls, I run a Samba-3.0 PDC for N.T. workstations on a Slackware Linux box. I often see the following error in the N.T. workstation's event log: Changing machine account password for account "xxxxx$" failed with the following error: The handle is invalid. Any ideas what this could be ? I'm not using PAM in any way. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- Many thanks and kind regards, David Wilson D c D a t a +27 33 3427003 +27 82 4147413 http://www.dcdata.co.za support@dcdata.co.za ____________________________________________________ LinuxBox S.A.: Africa's largest free shell provider.

Getting an ethereal trace can help too - the nltest.exe utility (NT resourse kit, I think) will help a lot here.
