Hi All  
After a week of having my mail rejected FINALLY,here's my
question.

 
 Here is the problem:
 
 I have several W2k Workstations, with a SAMBA 2.2.3 PDC.
 
 Problem is that I must have removed all of the important parts of server
validation.  

Here's the story:  OUTLAND is domain, W2k/ clients are milo 
and lola  They WERE working fine on the domain.  I did 
SOMETHING (??) and now I get  a message that says (when I 
try and log on: The system cannot log you on to
this domain because the system computer account in its 
primary domain is missing or the password on that account 
is incorrect.  
now:  I tried to delete the machine accounts (milo$ and lola$) using
userdel and smbpasswd -x to eliminate all traces.

 Tried to change out of domain, changed machine name, log 
in: still no good, same messages.
Then I tried the same thing, but this time also deleted the secrets.tdb 
file.  Then did a smbpasswd to add  the root account again.
STILL same problem

HELP!  I have no idea what to do!

The last thing I tried was to to change the machine name 
and out of the outland domain.
So I tried to change the name of the client to stevedallas, 
and the workgroup to temp
That worked. (to change. )  After this, I logged in, ok, 
and was then able  to change back to outland domain.

Now I was able to log in as workstation/administator
and I added new user/browse and it did see the outland domain.
I click my outland domain name, and next and the the message:
The user could not be added because the following error as occurred.  The
trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.

SO I am stuck without getting any user logins (at least I can login as
admin... 

please point me in the right direction??? thanks
