I upgraded (a side by side migration) from RH 7.3 to RH EN v.3 and one of
the packages was samba acting as a PDC. Was working beautifully, but now
some XP machines don't see the new server at login. Password are cached so
not a huge problem. One machine didn't cache the password. I deleted the
machine account from the samba PDC, put it into a workgroup. I then tried
to add it to the domain and I get "can not find user" as root. root is
there and valid. When I use a bad password for root, it says that I am
using a bad password - so it sees the user? Nothing unusual in the logs and
event viewer.
I migrated by:
1. copying passwd, shadow, group
2. copying smbpasswd
3. creating the ntadmin group
4. modifying the smb.conf file
my smb.conf (testparm)looks like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] profile]# testparm
