I currently have a small network (5 Win98 PCs) and a SuSE 7.2 box running Samba (out of the box). Currently Samba is the "WinNT" server for the network and it is working just perfectly!!! Logon scripts are executing nicely and all is ok. One of the clients decided to upgrade from Win98 to Win2000 SP2. Since the upgrade, the client is unable to logon to the SuSE box, shares are not available etc. I have read about the "machine account" that Win2000 requires and have made all necessary account creations on the SuSE box. I have also constructed the root account on the SuSE box in order to join the Win2000 client. In addition, I have followed, by the book, all the instructions to add the client to the network and still nothing. Due to all this, I searched the net and found that Samba 2.2.0 cannot support win2000 SP2 and an upgrade is needed on Samba. (I wonder if this is true?!?!?!). I thought of upgrading from 7.2 to 8.1 which I purchased recently. Any suggestions and/or comments would be greatly appreciated (although I must admit that I do not want to upgrade to a new SuSE version currently since all is working so fine!!!!). thank you for your help in advance!!
