I am not sure if this has been resolved yet (subscribed in digest, and some digests don't make it from imap to mozilla ...), but I have been using Windows XP Pro RC1 with a Mandrake 8.1 box running samba-2.2.2. I have just received a final Windows XP Pro which I will try and test with shortly.
I specifically setup the machine for testing joining of XP Pro to samba domains, so I applied the reg patch (available in samba's docs dir and from http://mandrakuser.org/connect/csamba6.html#winxp) before doing anything else. Here are some quick links: /usr/share/doc/samba-doc-2.2.2/docs/Registry/WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/samba_xp_domain_member.reg If someone can confirm whether this helps, I will update some of the docs on Mandrakeuser.org ... any other way we can get this out in general knowledge?
