ii samba 2:3.2.5-4lenny9 a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix ii samba-common 2:3.2.5-4lenny9 Samba common files used by both the server and the client On Debian Lenny and i am sharing directories to Windows Users successfully. I configured it as a PDC with the following configuration. [global] workgroup = HIFXNX netbios name = HIFXNXDC server string = HIFXNX Domain Controller, PHP Development Server, Subversion Server, DNS Server interfaces = 172.16.2.0/255.255.255.255 bind interfaces only = Yes obey pam restrictions = Yes passdb backend = tdbsam pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* . unix password sync = Yes syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser --quiet --disabled-password --gecos "" %u add group script = /usr/sbin/addgroup --force-badname %g add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -c "%u machine account" -d /var/lib/samba -s /bin/false %u domain logons = Yes os level = 33 preferred master = Auto domain master = Yes dns proxy = No panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 browseable = No [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /home/samba/netlogon guest ok = Yes share modes = No I can get the domain & domain controller resolved using DNS from the Windows XP machine.

I get the error "A Domain Controller for the domain hifxnx.local could not be contacted" and the debug log file dcdiag.txt contains these details. The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain hifxnx.local: The error was: "DNS name does not exist." (error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR) The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.hifxnx.local Common causes of this error include the following: - The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS. - One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone: hifxnx.local local .
