I managed doing this once in the 2.2 samba series
If I remember correcly you have to 'add' your xp box by loging in as
administrator and map administrator to root in the smbuser file.
Also add administrator/root to some admin unix group (forgot the details)
and have the windows box automatically be added as a machine-user (e..g $freddy
in your case) to samba. The relevant part of my smb.conf looks like:
[global] workgroup = DOLLAR add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser -n -g machines -c Samba_Client -d /dev/null -s /bin/false %m$ server string = Samba security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* username map = /etc/samba/smbusers local master = yes domain master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes domain admin group = @adm @users logon script = scripts\default.bat logon drive = h: wins support = yes dns proxy = no getwd cache = yes time server = yes
The 'add user script' and the 'domain admin group' seem crucial!
Hope this helps a bit. It is been a while since I've set this up for a customer so I might have miseed a few things but this should get you a step further...
