As far I know, you cannot use the same name for users and a machines account.
This is the way that I follow to create machine accounts: 1. Create a "user" account in /etc/passwd (note the '$') # useradd cpu3$ 2. Create the machine account with smbpasswd (note now '$' is not in the name) # smbpasswd -a -m cpu3 I hope this may help you... ------ Ferm�n -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de kent E.
