folks, howdy. by way of introduction, my name is daryl williams and i am new to this list. i have however been using samba on and off for several years. we currently use samba on our main fileserver (a sunos 5.5.1 system) to serve files to our windows clients. our goal is to eventualy replace all backend winnt servers with linux systems running samba, however we are gated by the need for a robust PDC version of samba to authenticate our nt users. while our current samba installation (version 2.0.3) seems to be working fine, we do get the following messages in our log.nmb file: register_name_response: server at IP 192.168.0.26 rejected our name registration of SHAREWAVE<00> with error code 6. my_name_register_failed: Failed to register my name SHAREWAVE<00> on subnet 192.168.0.25. any help, tips, rtfms are welcomed, especially with a pointer to the fm. thanks in advance, //daryl -- Daryl Williams Network Administrator mailto:daryl@sharewave.com ShareWave, Inc.
