I have a samba server joined into an ADS domain. the join was successful, however, when i try to attach to a share or the box from an xp machine in the same domain it prompts me for credentials, and fails on the correct credentials. here's the log output: <snip> [2006/03/15 11:50:47, 0] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(1195) make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!

Not sure what I've done wrong in the config, but I've done it incorrectly on 2 machines now... running different versions of samba.. 3.0.14a and 3.0.21b. Any help would greatly be appreciated. -- Barry
