(be sure not to remove a valid user!) -> /etc/samba/smbpasswd smbpasswd -x <duplicate> 6. try again. 7. if it doesn't work remove both (unix+samba) accounts and recreate them with the following script: #!/bin/bash #script creates an machine account #the group "machines" must exist adduser -g machines -s /bin/false -c "NT Machine Account" "$1\$" smbpasswd -m -a "$1\$" 8. try again. hope this helps, Joachim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roland Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Bradley W.
