Correct for a Windows NT Domain Server but NOT if you use the e-smith samba as the
primary domain controller!!!
Don't enable that "checkbox" in the dialog in a WInNT4 machine when you change from
Workgroup to you Domaingorup, it will not work.
On WinNT4:
Set up the appropriate machine-name as decribed here on the list several times. You'll
get error the errors as decribed in the mails of this topic before but it works. Maybe
it is more difficult with WIn2k, read more about Samba and Win2k.
