Do you have a trust account setup on your linux box ? Win-nt needs this
for it to do any kind of remote (network) authentication. In your
passwd file you will need the following: (note the '$' sign after the
name of the host.
NODE2$:*:1000:900:Trust Account:/dev/null:/dev/null
You will also need to use the -m option (as you did above) with
smbpasswd when importing the trust account.
You probably allready know, but the smb-howto has some info on this.
