To all samba gurus! I have fightning with a problem for 2 days now and still can't get any hang of it. I have set up my samba server to act as a PDC, for windows 2000pro/XPpro clients. Now i want my windows2k machine to join my domain, i created in my smb.conf.
here is my smb.conf [global] netbios name = bender workgroup = MORDOR os level = 65 preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes security = user domain logon = yes logon path = \\bender\profiles\%u logon drive = Z: logon home = \\bender\%u logon script = logon.cmd add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g smbusers -s /bin/false -m %u add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -s /bin/false -m %u wins support = yes [netlogon] path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon public = no read only = no write list = root browseable = no valid users = root smbusers [profiles] path = /home/winprof read only = no create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 browseable = no valid users = root smbusers [homes] valid users = %S read only = no browseable = no I'm running 'testparm smb.conf' and there is no problem, it says it's a ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC which is a good thing ;). In the netlogon share i create logon.cmd file and make it a dos file with my favorite editor vim. here's the content of logon.cmd: REM windows client logon script REM net time \\bender /SET /YES net use Z: \\bender\homes /PERSISTENT:NO I'm setting smbpasswd -a root and starting smbd -D & nmbd -D On my win2k i have set my samba server ip-address in the WINS settings+NetBIOS over TCP/IP. When i'm going to 'System propertites and put my domain name 'MORDOR' in this case, a login prompt appears and i entering root+password(smbpasswd). At this moment it fails. A pop-up window appears and it couldn't find the username. As you can see i'm trying to do an On-the-fly creation, but i have also tried it manually and the same window appears. what have i miss? //Fredrik -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
