Hi, in my pc running Fedora Core 1 e kernel 2.4....2199 e
Samba 3.0721 . Samba is not authenticating my winNt4 domain user, altought 
wbinfo recognize them.
My log is:
[2004/12/23 01:55:08, 0] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(1122)
  make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!

What's the matter ?
Thanks a lot,
Tanja
