[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi Andrew I've managed to get past the initial problems I posted about. I am now able to enter the "Domain" and now clicking "OK" brings up the "Domain Username and Password" dialogue box. However, entering username: root / passwd: root's samba passwd brings up "The specified user does not exist". As a test, I tried it with root and gibberish for a passwd. This returns: "Login Failure: unknown username of bad password". This appears in the logs: # tail /var/log/log.nmbd [2002/10/27 21:30:24, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(69) process_logon_packet: Logon from 192.168.1.6: code = 0x12 # The Win2K machine's name is in /etc/passwd (with the $ at the end) as well as in smbpasswd files. I have added a samba account for root (with a different passwd to that of the system) What could be this problem at this stage?
