samba - Jul 2002 - Win98 can't login to NT

Hi there,

I have finally talked a corporation into allowing me to introduce Unix.  I
have used samba before, but I now have a problem.

Some (and only some) of the windows 98 clients can no longer log into the NT
domain controller.  They get the same message as if the passwd/username was
wrong.

Here is a snip from my config file:

os level=00
password server=nt_box
domain master=no
local master=no

Now, I would assume that the setup above would do everything to ensure that
the clients look toward the NT box no matter what, because the 00 would
ensure that the samba server would never become the browser master.

If I set the option 'domain logons=no', would this help any?

Please help.  As soon as I kill SMBD, the clients then again authenticate to
nt.

Hi,
Well the 'domain logons=no' should be set to prevent
any domain controller ability on samba, it would not
at all affect the behaviour of samba as a file/print
server. 'domain master=no' and 'local master=no'
options simply prevent samba to publish itself as the
master domain "browser" or master "browser" for the
lan.
