Re: [Samba] Machine Accounts

[Adam Williams]

Well you need to have done smbpasswd -a -m user to create the machine 
account.  also, did you apply the sign or seal registry patch?  windows 
xp can not join a domain unless you've applied this registry patch.

I'm not using smbpasswd  -a... , but trying through xp to add the machine

<MEPHISTOPHELES>, and then I'm prompted for the administrator
username/password <MEPHISTOPHELES\root and <passwd>> I get the unkown
username/password message.
 

are you saying you can't do smbpasswd -a -m user or that you can't add
   

windows 2000/xp to a domain?

I'm running Linux from my home. I've been running Samba 2.27a for a
     

while now. I've just recently upgraded my system to Fedora Core 1. With
that, sAmba has been upgraded to 3.0015.
 

I've included my smb.conf file. I can't seem to create a machine
     

account. I get unknown user or password. I do have a user root in
smbpasswd.
 

Like they say.......HELP!!!!!  <:-)
