Hi All, I have been reading through "man pdedit". I came across the "-m" option: -m This option may only be used in conjunction with the -a option. It will make pdbedit to add a machine trust account instead of a user account (-u username will provide the machine name). Example: pdbedit -a -m -u w2k-wks Not to ask too stupid a question, but why would you want to have a "machine" account? Would not the user account suffice? Confused, -T
