I am at the end of my rope, I am trying to get a winxp box to logon to a pdc using freebsd5.1 and keep getting "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad passsword." or "Access Denied". I am trying to logon with 'root' and the user is in smbpasswd and /etc/passwd. I think my problem is I am not sure how to add the machine account into the samba server. I have tried just adding the user then adding a '$' after the username in /etc/passwd, when this is done I can use smbpasswd -a -m <MachineName> and it adds the computer to smbpasswd with a '$' sign next to it. No matter which logon I try and use I never get to authenticate. I have also made the two registry changes to the XP box and still I cannot log in. Can someone help me with this or point me to a freebsd doc or something. I'm going nuckin' futs with this. Any help is greatly appreciated, Jon

All I know it has something to do with windows DNS, I think. Go to xp-samba.linuxgod.net/Samba.php, and it will tell you how to add a XP machine to a samba network.
