Ok, I have a Redhat 8.1 with samba configured to be a primary domain controller providing user authentication and access to shares. &nbsp;Most of these boxes (90%) are win98, and they work just fine. &nbsp;The problem is when I attempt to use windows 2000 (SP2). &nbsp;If I attempt to join the domain, it asks for a valid user/password of the domain, then proceeds to tell me that 'The account used is a computer account. &nbsp;Use your global user account or local user account to access this server.'<br />
<br />
What is this and how do i fix it?
