=============The problem: =============I am in the testing stages of implementing a Samba domain. My user is logging on to a standard win xp SP2 desktop, with the samba pdc, supplying the credentials. The logon screen disappears and an "SAS window: winlogon.exe - Application Error" box pops up on the Win XP screen. If I click OK the machine reboots. My user can log onto the Debian Sarge server using ssh fine. My other users in the same ldap Users container can log onto the open-xchange part of this server fine. =============================My attempts at problem solving =============================reset the users password removed the XP machine from the domain and added it again. added the " use sendfile = no" directive to smb.conf shutdown the firewalls on both the XP machine and the server =============================technical details =============================Samba version: Version 3.0.10-Debian Linux flavour: debian Sarge XP version SP2 Ldap with bdb backend (users can log on with other applications) ============The questions ============Can anyone point me in the direction of docs that I can use to fix this? Can anyone decrypt the content of the error message from the logs below and point me in the right direction? =================The Errors from log ==================[2005/01/20 16:02:01, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(1000) getpeername failed.
