samba - Jul 2002 - strange things happening here, with WinXP pro

hi,


what I have:
a SuSE 8.0 pro, running samba 2.2.3a as a PDC
two WinXP pro boxes, both with that 'requiresignorseal' registry patch
applied, lets call them a and b.

what happens is this:
a is a happy domain member. everything's yummy.
b joins the domain, reboots. on login attempt, b says 'domain not
available'
now, login on box a. a says: 'domain not available'... After I remove a
from the domain, then re-join it, a is a happy domain member again...


hints?
further data required?

bye,
MH

Matthias,

Check to make sure that each machine has a different uid in the unix 
system passwd file.

/me slaps head

solved... smb.conf was set to create the machine accounts... each with the
same uid.
