Hi, new to list. Running FreeBSD 5.2.1 with latest samba port. I've gotten rather far, but have hit a bit of a snag. After getting kerberos and DNS sorted out, I did net ads join -U (An Admin name) got a pass prompt, the pass was accepted. Cool. Had created no samba accounts, so from my laptop (FreeBSD 5.1) I typre mount_smbfs //user@unix/directory /directory got a pass request and it worked. WooHoo I said. Alas, the Winblowz XP workstations, and 2000 servers cannot map. In XP I usually get a login request, use the same account I used from my laptop, and it just comes back asking for a pass. The 2000 server responds "The mapped drive could not be created because the following error has occured: The account is not authorized to log in from this station." So, I'm not sure what to do next. Should I change security = user to server? Is it a M$ problem (boy that would suprise me ;-) )? I'd appreciate any suggestions. TMS III
