I have a Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf) Samba 2.2.4 PDC and fileserver built with --with-ldapsam. The clients are either win9x or WinY2k. Authenitcation, etc... all works great. But print sharing is a real pain. Under 2.2.1a printing worked great, but our VOIP phone system wouldn't joint the domain until we upgraded to 2.2.4.

...the name of "sardine" in order to connect to any resources. They can resolve the name of the PDC ("littleboy") and print to printer queues defined on the PDC but they can't find sardine.

Any pointers or suggestions would be most welcome.

...R, HERE'S THE KICKER, AFTER I RESTART THE WORKSTATIONS AS INSTRUCTED BY WINDOWS, I CANNOT LOGIN INTO THE DOMAIN. I get 2 separate error messages for XP and Y2K and I can only log in to the workstation locally. WinXP Error: The system cannot log you on because the domain POLC is not available. WinY2K Error: The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account is incorrect. Checked log.smbd and found the following. [2003/10/30 11:08:04, 3] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(858) Domain=[] Nat...

...se by bob'. Sure enough smbstatus -L shows the file locked by bob, but bob is the one that can't open it. And if bob shuts down his computer the lock seems to hang around for a bit. And the same file will continue to exhibit the same behavior, even after reboots of the client PC (mostly winY2k boxes). Has anyone seen anything like this?
