Hi, If my memory serves well, I've read/heard somewhere that the SBS edition of MS Win2003 is pre-set to be "The PDC". Assuming this is the case, my guess is that your Win2003 and the existing Gentoo SAMBA server are both declaring them selves as "The PDC". Depending on different conditions in your network some clients see the SAMBA server as the PDC, and others see the MS SBS as the PDC. Again, I'm not sure about all this, so use it just as a hint in your investigation. -- Best regards, Daniel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
