[plug] networking XP Pro and Samba

[Andrew J. Barbara]

I just did a quick google search and found the following...

ON WINDOWS XP ONLY!!!
Go into your registry and Change the following Value to "0" instead of
"1". Such as:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\netlogon\parameters
\ "RequireSignOrSeal"=dword:00000000

Also have you created a Machine account on the samba server?  This is
important because all NT based OSs that log onto a NT domain need a
machine account on the domain.  Although I have had some instances where
it was added automatically I find that it is not very reliable, so I
just usually add the machine account befoure.

Have a site that is running Windows XP Pro, XP Home and Windows 98 as
clients.  I have a linux Samba server where they have to login in a
domain
mode.  Once logged in they run a login script and are assigned certain
drive
letters for certain shares.

Problem is the XP Professional cannot join the Samba domain (tried all
the
accounts) and since XP home does not have the ability to join a domain
any
ideas on how to get these 2 versions to login and getting their login to
work.  The Win98 is okay as for logging into samba and running the login
script.  Just wondering if it's better to setup Samba as a shared
domain.



Thanks
