Hi, I have installed samba 2.0.7-36 on a RH 7.1 machine. And I have a Solaris 8 machine, and a Windows 2000 server machine as well. I am first trying to get the w2k box and samba to interact, but i am having a lot of difficulty and am not sure why. i was wondering if anyone could tell me whether they have successfully set up a basic samba configuration with w2k, and if so whether they had to do anything special to get it to work? for instance, did you find that a certain service pack would not work? did you find that encrypted passwords/plain text passwords would not work? were any special adjustments necessary to the smb.conf file? if you got your configuration to work without any special hassle, that would be useful information to me as well? thanks so much, eric by the way, maybe i could include my error log if anyone wants to take a look?
