Check /var/log/samba/log.ip_address_of_machine and /var/log/samba/log.NETBIOS_NAME_OF_MACHINE to see if there are any clues.
On your PDC (is it v3 or 2.2.x?) domain logons = yes domain master = yes preferred master = yes security = share os level = ? #not sure if this will cause a problem if less than 32 or so ? At what point does this error message come - before or after it searches the domain for a duplicate machine account? If it occurs after it searches the domain for another machine with the same name, you may want to delete the machine account from /etc/passwd and /etc/samba/smbpasswd (or whatever backend you are using... smbpasswd -m -x MACHINE_NAME) Craig Craig -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
