    Hi

    I am trying to configure a samba to be a PDC server on a small home
    network. Never did it, completely newbie in this area.
    Well, I read some documentation about how to do this but it's not
    working. From a winXP machine I can access the shares on the server.
    WinXP prompts for the user and password and connects correctly. When
    trying to configure XP as part of the domain I get an error: "The user
    name could not be found". When I try to log in with a nonexisting user I
    get a different message. When trying to connect with a normal user (not
    set as admin on smb.conf) I get a "Access is denied" message. So it
    seems like the users are been correctly identified by the server. I'm
    using fedora core 1 with samba 3.0.2rc1 (upgraded in hope that would
    work with the latest version)

    Thanks
    Gustavo
