It does look to be relevant, and would explain why I've never seen it before, as I presume a recent samba update has introduced it. However, I don't understand much of what it says on that page, and certainly don't understand what I can do about it. This is not a Windows Domain, just a peer-to-peer samba network with the windows boxes running networking over tcp. The user that was attempting to log in as a samba user is a user on that box, but not in any sense an administrator of it. I don't understand why it was trying to create an Administrator account at all. Anne
