Is the machine a user? If the machine were named "pickles" you would: % adduser pickles$ and maybe escape the '$' in 'pickles$' with a backslash (\) or put the whole thing in single quotes. I think that is all that is needed. Please correct me if I am wrong, Troy >>> jspinti at dart.dartdist.com 12/31/01 08:49AM >>> Over the weekend my home server died. Both the HD and the network card went at the same time :( Anyway, I took the opportunity to upgrade the system to 32 MB of EDO RAM (ransacked from other machines) and install RH 7.2. I had a backup :) of the Samba config file, dropped it in, added all the users back in, copied the data files back, etc. Everything is fine, except for the NT workstation. I added the machine using smbpasswd -a -m, it shows up nicely in the smbpasswd file, just like it should. But, when I try to log on from the NT workstation, it says that the machine is not registered with the PDC. I look in the event log, and it says the same thing. When I run NT diagnostics from the Administrative tools menu, it shows the correct machine as the PDC with the correct domain. I remember this happening to me once before, and I was able to fix it. But, now I can't remember what I did. Anybody had this problem before and remember? I think it has something to do with the new hashes in the smbpasswd file not matching the ones on the workstation, but am not sure...
