No, sadly, all the windows password encryptions are working ok - as verified
by just using ordinary shares. It's when I try to set up my linux box as
the domain controller that the problem arises.
As far as I can be certain it is fairly and squarely down to the gotcha
whereby the nt4 net logon service fails to start owing to the domain already
being controlled by the samba server. Since this is required to do the
logon...
In fairness it is mentioned in the gotchas text but I was hoping for a work
around - or for someone to say that they were using their linux boxes as pdc
with nt4 clients without any problems.
