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
