ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha or mirror sites. using nt5 beta1 (desperate measures, i know), i confirmed that there was a problem with joining-to-domain, which _may_ not be a problem with nt4 because nt5beta1 may use different password-set mechanisms from nt4. i still have not been able to confirm that non-intel-byte-order password sets will work, although i _have_ added the code to do this. if anyone is having difficulty with TNG, still, i recommend that you delete the entire var/ directory and if you are using smbpasswd as your SAM back-end, delete the entire private/ directory, recreate var/, var/locks/, private/, do a touch private/smbpasswd and start again. luke <a href=" mailto:lkcl@samba.org" > Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton </a> <a href=" http://cb1.com/~lkcl" > Samba and Network Development </a> <a href=" http://samba.org" > Samba Web site </a> <a href=" http://mcp.com" > Macmillan Technical Publishing </a> ISBN1578701503 DCE/RPC over SMB: Samba and Windows NT Domain Internals
