I really appreciate your help in this matter. It would seem that I'm still running into some problems with 2.2.6, but this time I have lots and lots of log info that might help. First, we'll start with my smb.conf file:

The only changes made were to the name of the workgroup, the interface IP and some of the paths that are slightly different on the new server. Note: Is it possible that copying smbpasswd from another computer and not directly creating it on the new computer is causing this? This just occurred to me and I can't test it until I get home from work later today. Now, for the log files. I flushed them and started a new server last night, then tried to join the domain this morning, with the same results.

The earlier entries (7:05-ish) were undoubtedly when I joined the domain, which looked successful from the client's side (hence the "root" mentions in the log... I used the root account to physically join the domain). The later entries (7:09-ish) would then have been me trying to logon to the domain after a reboot. Neither a normal user, nor root could login to the domain. It always said the domain in unavailable. Again, I really appreciate your offer to help on this. Unless told otherwise, I'll be re-creating the smbpasswd file later this evening and testing that. Are there any changes from 2.2.2 to 2.2.6 that would require me to change something in my smb.conf file? David P.
