Hello, We have a samba server for our computer lab. Currently all the machines are either windows 98 or windows 2000. The 98 machines are assigned to the 'INTRANET' workgroup, while the windows 2000 machines are part of the 'INTRANET' domain. We have no problems with this setup.
I'm now trying to deploy Windows XP (sp2) computers to this lab. I'm constantly getting errors about not being able to access the server (e.g. Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise available, or because your computer account was not found). Note, I was successfully able to join the computer to the domain (I created the machine account on samba first). Also, browsing the network shares works fine. I've tried the following: - added an lmhosts file with a '\0x1b' entry for the domain - told the XP client to use the samba machine for WINS - disabled 'Domain Member:Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always)' - enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP - disabled Windows Firewall It sounds to me like a resolution issue (there are no entries in the log.smb file), but I'd expect the WINS and/or lmhosts to fix that. Any ideas? Thanks, Dean More INFO: Running Samba Version 2.2.3a-13 for Debian smb.conf: [global] interfaces = 192.168.1.0/24 bind interfaces only = yes hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127. netbios name = public netbios aliases = student server string = File & Print Server workgroup = INTRANET remote announce = 192.168.1.255/INTRANET domain master = yes domain logons = yes preferred master = yes local master = yes os level = 34 wins support = yes name resolve order = wins hosts lmhosts bcast dns proxy = yes security = user invalid users = bin daemon adm sync shutdown halt mail news sys uucp operator gopher browseable = no guest ok = no encrypt passwords = yes null passwords = no password level = 0 unix password sync = yes domain admin group = @admin add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -c 'Machine Account' -s /bin/false -M %u passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *old*password* %o\n *new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *changed* logon script = %u.bat logon path = logon home = [netlogon] comment = The domain logon service path = /home/public/netlogon writeable = no write list = @admin force group = users [homes] comment = Files stored here are not accessible by others writable = yes [apps] path = /home/public/apps volume = Apps comment = These applications are free for everyone to use writable = no read list = @admin,@users write list = @admin,@users force group = users -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
