samba - Aug 2002 - Windows XP domain logons with Samba as PDC - trust relationship problems

Hi all,

I have setup Samba 2.2.3a on Mandrake 8.2 and have domain logons for my Windows
2000 Pro box working perfectly (although I've had to move the profile path
to inside each user's home directory to avoid "Access is Denied"
errors during logon - suggestions welcome!).

Whenever I try to join with one of my XP boxen though, the domain joining stage
works up until it comes time to add accounts to the local machine for users on
the domain.

The domain is called COMOCON and the username I'm trying to add to the local
machine so that the network user can access it is chris. When I try to add the
user COMOCON/chris I get:

"The trust relationship between the primary and this workstation has
failed."

To eliminate a few things:

* The 2000 box logs on without a problem. This (hopefully) eliminates problems
with machine accounts being created correctly.
* Machine accounts are created automatically by the "add user script"
parameter.
* I have applied the Windows XP registry patch that is distributed with the docs
for this version of Samba.

On another Windows XP box I have here, when I get to the step in the wizard
where you are asked about your machine name and machine domain, I get a funky
error concerning DNS and WINS (saying that the domain name appears to be a
NetBIOS name). On the Windows XP machines, the TCP/IP properties have been
specifically told where the WINS server is (ie. The Samba box) after initially
not doing so. The 2000 box has had nothing done to it's default network
configuration.

All the machines on the LAN have static IPs and point to external DNS servers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

Hi

first of all, tjeck that the registry patch has applied, if so, try to 
specify netbios over tcp/ip in your wins configuration on the XP box.
