Setup: RH9 / SAMBA 2.2.8 PDC / XP boxes
Problem: Had once joined the PDC w/XP then left. Now cannot join again! I also have new XP boxes and they cannot join. Win98 boxes are working fine.
I have altered the reg for the two dword changes.
I have manually created a machines group and added the machine name to the Linux db, Linux passwd db (no password), SAMBA passwd db (as -m no $).
I have root entered into the smbpasswd db.
The error I am getting now is that the network password is wrong. BUT IT IS NOT!!
I do notice that when I change a password for smbpasswd that it lists that the password has changed twice. I did not think it used to do that.
What the heck happened!? T.I.A.

- You might check on www.samba.org for Samba 3.02, which provides much better support for the PDC environment.
- You don't mention the process by which you're joining the machine - i assume, then, you're using "root" as the name that has the authority to join?
- There is a step by step example book that will be out in March which provides a good examples for configuring Samba. it's by John Terpstra, Samba 3 - By example - keep it in mind.
Sorry. Yes, I'm using root (with a dif password just for SAMBA) to log into the domain. It is this password that it is saying it is incorrect. But, I swear, it is not. I typed it with one finger to be sure!!
So something else is messing up. I'm working over a wireless link that drops the speed down to a pitiful "8 if your lucky" hop to the server. Today I am taking the XP box down to the Lab to eliminate lag as a potential problem.
I do want to upgrade to SAMBA 3.x, however I have no backup controller, I'm new to this, and I need to deploy these 19 boxes in 10 days. I want ACL support.
I have two Samba books and I'm pouring over them feverishly.
