Yes, that's right. I just installed Samba 2.2.0 on the e-smith box,
and I'm trying to use it as a domain controller for a Win2k machine. I
took a look at that thread, and found these instructions:
For every NT workstation which should be able to logon you have to run:
/sbin/e-smith/db accounts set foo machine Comment "Machine account for
foo"
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/machine-account-create machine-create foo
As this message says later, you get an error after the second command:
[root@e-smith home]# /etc/e-smith/events/actions/machine-account-create
Rufus
machinename argument missing at
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/machine-account-create line 45.
Contrary to what that message says, though, it doesn't seem to work--I
get "unknown user" when I try to log in to the domain. So, I tried
manually stepping through what the machine-account-create script does.
No error creating the unix account through useradd. No problem doing
passwd -l on the account. For that matter, there wasn't any problem
doing the smbpasswd--but once it was done, the machine account was the
only one listed in /etc/smbpasswd.
Now, I expect most of my questions are, properly, Samba questions, and
I need to check the Samba docs for the answers to them (though if
anything is known, it'd help out a lot). However, it surprises me that
the machine's user accounts aren't listed in /etc/smbpasswd. From what
I can tell from smb.conf, that's where they should be. Should they be
there, or is there someplace else I should be looking? Thanks again for
any help.
