I have SAMBA 2.2.6 and Windows XP working great. I have Samba setup as a PDC. the worst you have to do is run the SignOrSeal.reg fix from microsoft to login. you have to do that with NT 5.0 as well. --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
