One thing you might do if you edit /etc/passwd directly is run pwck (password check) afterwords. It will tell you about problems in the /etc/passwd file. You can expect a few messages about home directories not being found for some system accounts. There's also a grpck for /etc/group. The Wink2k box says it might have a DNS prob when I try > to add it to the domain. Not that experience with win2k, but I'd advise you to use the "net ... " commands from the command line, rather than use explorer. You get far better diagnostics, which you can then google for or consule support.microsoft.com. Naming can be a problem. You have to make sure each box knows it's own name and the name of the other box and that they all agree with each other and across protocols. (dns, wins, netbios or whatever) to minimise your problems. Regards, Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
