Hi, what I've done: Installed Redhat 7.2 and Samba 2.2.2 from rawhide. Configured samba as a PDC and WINS-Server. Added Useraccounts and Mashineaccounts for my NT4SP6a-Users and -Systems. The NT4 Systems can join the domain, the Users can access the shares. Installed W2K with sp2 on an testsystem. I can access the shares with different users. I added the mashine account for the testsystem and added nt acl support = no to the global section and a profile share [Profiles] path = /export/samba/profiles browseable = no ; guest ok = yes writeable = yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 Now if I try to join the domain, I'm asked for a name and password for an user, which is allowed to join the domain. I tried the user which is currently loged in to the testsystem and some different users, but I had no luck :-( I get the answere: Ther is an error by trying to join the domain: Login failed: unknown user or wron password. With the user i tried, i can access the shares. So any idea what can be wrong or missing?? 1000 Thaks in advance!!! su...
