my *nix client has successfully connected to the w2k domain, but I find that the clients need to login with the computer name & then the username. ie username: computername\username I also noticed it says in documentation that usernames on the *nix machine should appear in the domain\username form. Mine arn't doing that, they just appear as the username. The main reason I want to fix this up is to save having to do a second login, and so I can have the roaming profiles store on the *nix machine any Ideas would be greatly appreciated. I will paste my smb.conf if need be. thanks in advance
