[ILUG] Win2k Joining Samba PDC

[ILUG] Win2k Joining Samba PDC

Running Samba 2.2 as a PDC...
Supposedly it can let Windows 2000 SP2 machines connect to it.
Unfortunately, I'm having problems. I can browse the shares
(like \\horizon works) however joining the domain is a different story.
I end up with a "Specificed user does not exist" error.

User DOES exist,

[usr/local/samba/lib]>>>grep -v "^;" smb.conf | sed -e "/^[ ]*$/d"
[global]
        netbios name = horizon
        workgroup = realm
        Domain Admin group = @domain_admins
        log level = 2
        os level = 1000
        preferred master = yes
        domain master = yes
        local master = yes
        smb passwd file= /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
        security = user
        encrypt passwords = yes
        domain logons = yes
[netlogon]
        path = /usr/export/netlogon
        public = no
        writeable = no
        write list = @domain_admins
[profiles]
        path = /usr/export/ntprofile
        writeable = yes
        create mask = 0600
        directory mask = 0700

[secure]
        path = /usr/export/secure
        writeable = yes
        username = administrator

[/usr/local/samba/lib]>>>groups administrator
administrator domain_admins

Entries were created using smbpasswd and the user physically exists.
I can logon to the domain no problem in Windows 98

[/usr/local/samba/lib]>>>smbd -V
Version 2.2.1a

The what's new file that came with it does specify that they have
fixed stuff to allow win2k to logon to a samba PDC. Has anyone had
any luck with this or can they tell me where I'm going wrong?

Thanks,
Phil.
