This is really getting the better of me now... I was able to get the samba machine (samba 3, Slackware 9) to join the Active Directory domain (Windows 2000 Advanced Server). The samba machine shows up under AD Users and Computers and also shows up in Network Neighborhood. So far, so good... Trying to browse the samba server however, first was giving me problems about "username and/or password are incorrect". After finding the blurb at the end of chapter 5 in the Howto Collection by J. Terpstra, I started to play with the client/server signing and schannel settings, both in Windows and in Samba. For fun, I also was playing with the spnego settings. I don't know if I am making any progress though, since now I am getting "This account is not authorized to log in from this station" messages on Windows when trying to browse the samba machine. Incidentily, this is the administrator account that isn't authorized.... What the heck am I doing wrong now???? -- Ron Gage - LPIC1, A+, Net+ Pontiac, Michigan
