i am having the same problem. i can use XP and samba 2.2.7 in a workgroup
environment, and everything works fine. when i try and join the XP workstation
as a domain, i get the same message as you do.
i read up on creating a SRV record via bind, which seems easy
enough, but i am not sure what prog s/b running on the other end of that
service, and how it should be configured.
i hope someone with some deep know how understands the problem and what
to do here.

Hi all, I am having trouble setting up samba to act as a PDC. I am fairly new to red hat \ linux, and have just installed RH 7.3 running the default configuration. I updated \ samba to 2.2.7 using the online updating feature and followed a step by step tutorial \ to configure samba to become a PDC.When i try to connect to the domain with windows XP pro, it displays the message "a \ domain controller for the domain mydomain can not be located" when i choose details it says The error was: "DNS request not supported by name server." (error code 0x0000232C RCODE_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.mydomain The network is simple, one windows XP pro machine with IP 192.168.1.6 and one RH 7.3 \ linux machine with IP 192.168.1.5. Connections are working because both machines \ succuessfully ping each other. I ran testparm with no errors and have verified the samba server is running properly \ with "smbclient //mymachine/user -U user -W mydomain" I downloaded and ran the SignOrSeal reg patch for XP, and also disabled the "Domain \ member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always)" option in the local \ security. I have triple checked the tutorial guide with my config file, and have manually \ created the required accounts What could be the problem? I have seen other people on this list with the same \ problem, but the threads seem to die out without a solution. Please help! -Tim
