I created a new virtual Linux server running the Red Hat v7.2 distribution. After
getting a MySQL/PHP application running, the next step was to add a Win2kPro
Workstation to a new Linux PDC. Towards that end I modified the smb.conf file as
described below to turn the virtual Linux server into a stand alone PDC. A
'MACHINE.SID' was created in the /usr/local/samba/private directory. Additionally, I
created some Linux users and populated the smbpasswd file with them. When I now try to
use the Network Identification tab of my workstations system properties to add it to
the domain, I get an error dialog indicating that the computer cannot be added to the
domain because 'the account used was a computer account. Use a 'global user or local
user account to access this server'. How can I make one of the accounts that was used
to populate the smbpasswd file a 'Global User' in SAMBA?
