Folks, I have been fighting this thing for the past day or so, and thought that I would throw it out and see if anybody else has seen this.
It may appear only marginally on-topic, but I know that there is a vast depth of knowledge and experience here, so am giving it a shot. I don't know whether this is a Samba thing or W2K -- I lean toward the latter. When I came in yesterday morning, I was told that one of the machines was "locked" and so they had turned off the power. Further explanation showed that the machine prompts for login and accepts that ( domain login -- Samba PDC ) but after it shows the usual "processing..." messages, the screen goes effectively blank -- just the background color and nothing else seems to happen. OK, so the machine is hosed, so to speak, except that I can log in without any issues! ( Incidentally, there are 4 W2K machines in this network, all served by the same Samba PDC, and the other three are NOT demonstrating this interesting quirk. ) The Samba log was complaining yesterday about Group membership, but I think I cleared that up, and so the log appears very similar ( if not identical ) between me and one of the other users. I tried deleting both the Samba "profile" information and the local copy, but that didn't seem to have any effect. Any bright ideas? TIA, Brian
