I am by no means an "expert" but I I have been reading the O'Reilly Samba book. I understand that XP security is basedon Kerberos 5. I believe you have to start with Samba V3. All I have is a couple of Win98 boxes. No XP. You now know everything I do about Samba. :-) I hope someone with more experence can educate both of us. Cheers...
