samba - Dec 2003 - Domain account

Dear All,

Sorry if this question has been posted before but there's no enough answer
to solved my problem and I'm going crazy because of it....:(

I'm currently installed Samba-2.2.8a as logon server on My FreeBSD 5.0.
For Win 9.X client there's no problem at all. But when I tried to joining
W2K client into  samba domain it's shown an error message such as :

   "the account used is a computer account. use your global user account or
local user account to access this server "

I've already used root account to joining W2K client into my Samba Server
and already put @wheel in domain admin group on my smb.conf too.
Before that I've already added machine account using vipw into my passwd
file. 
I hope there's anybody who could show me the missing part that I've
forgot.

Sorry if my English makes you confused. :)

Regards,
Dede Nurmansyah


Here's my global part of smb.conf
[global]
             workgroup = NIX
             netbios name = FreeBSD
             server string = Samba 2.2.8a on FreeBSD 5.0
            encrypt passwords = yes
            domain admin group = @wheel, @smbuser
            domain logons = yes
            os level = 65
            preferred master = yes
            domain master = yes
            wins proxy = yes
            wins support = yes

Hi Dede,

  Just to confirm. You are logged onto the workstation as local administrator 
(or a local account with admin privileges) correct? Then you try to join the 
domain and when it asks you for the username & password you use root and the
root password yes? Have you added the root user in your samba password 
database with smbpasswd?

 This usually works pretty easily and I don't understand why you would get 
that error.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your response :)

Yes, I'm logged onto workstation as local administrator and when the system
asked username and password, I put root username and root password.
I've also added root account into samba  password database using smbpasswd
-a root

I don't have any idea about this problem, because I'm sure enough that
all
steps I made is correct and it has been my problem since 3 month ago.
And now I'm really give up and little stress. Perhaps anybody could give me
advise.

Regards,
Dede Nurmansyah
