samba - Nov 2000 - Windows 2000 Passwords

Hello,

My question is the same as "Windows 98 Passwords" in your Samba FAQ
replacing Windows 98 with Windows 2000.

What is the registry to be modified to enable Plain Text Password with
Windows 2000 ?

I tried HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP
as in Windows 98
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters
as in NT4
but none work.

Your sincerely,
--

I have one workgroup with a Sun running Samba 2.2.0 on Solaris as the PDC 
and another workgroup running Samba 2.2.3a on Red Hat Linux 7.2 as 
the PDC for this workgroup. I want some machines at the Sun workgroup to 
have access to shares on the Linux workgroup. I have created logons and 
passwords for users from the Sun workgroup on the Linux machine. The logon
names are the same for Linux and Samba but the passwords are different than
the Sun workgroup. When a Windows 2000 computer in the Sun workgroup tries
to access a share on the Linux Samba workgroup the following error message
comes up:
  Incorrect password or unknown user name for:

Why is this? Does Win2K require the password on the local Win2K
machine to be the same as on the Samba server?

No it does not, this is the problem, the message just returns.

The client and server are in two different domains with different
PDCs. I was able to connect from an NT machine in the domain of the
Win2K client using the password assigned in the other domain. I
cannot connect from the Win2K machine though.

How can two domains have a trust relationship?
