I suspect that you haven't got root included in your 'domain admin group'. > main server: Mandrake 9.0 running Samba 2.2.6pre2 > backup server: WinNT 4.0 Server with SP 6 FYI, the way we work is to not use the Administrator account for domain admin work, we use domain accounts listed in our 'domain admin group'.
