A work-around is: 1. Add the machine account without the trailing '$' 2. Then edit the /etc/passwd (and if you have shadow passwords enabled also the /etc/shadow file) by adding a trailing '$' to the login id. 3. Add your machine to the smbpasswd file by using: smbpasswd -a -m 'machine_name' This should get you past the road block. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
