I've installed a new ubuntu samba server. The server replaces a samba server that has worked well for years.
I used the config file (slightly moded) from the old server to the new. Windows 98 machines logon fine. Windows XP Pro clients had problems with the machine accounts. So I deleted a machine account to try and rejoin to find if this fixes the problem and "not authorised". I then remembered Ubuntu locks the root pwd. I've always used teh samba docs and used root-samba-root-user-pwd to join machine accounts. Clearly Ubuntu does something in the config to get around this. THe web site didn'g get me far. Urls' or assistance appreciated.
