I have a network of computers, mainly Windows XP, attached to a Linux
server running Red Hat and Samba. I have an application that installs
a client service on PC's remotely and then activates them for data
capture.

For this purpose I have created a Domain Administrator level account.
The application (Visual Audit Pro) successfully installs the client,
but when trying to pertform the audit, returns error 86 ($56), "the
specified network password is not correct." The domain name, account
and password _are_ correct.

I can use the account and password to attach any shared drive on the
network to my computer.

Does anyone have any clue as to where I go from here?

I'm not familiar with Linux, but is it possible the number of digits in the
password, may not be meeting the design criteria?

I have made some progress here. I have ensured that the Windows
Firewall has been turned off (we have an external firewall, so the
Windows one is redundant). I have also successfully audited 3 machines
by using the machine name as the domain and using the machine's
administrator logon. So, in effect, I am bypassing the Linux server
and running it peer-to-peer.

I am still having problems with other machines, but VisionSoft are
investigating that for me.

They have come up with several problem solutions. How can you deny that?
