hi tim,

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
