As I mentioned in my last email and as explained below, the use of
login scripts in the netlogon share only work when the samba server
is acting as a PDC and your clients are part of this domain. Windows
clients then automatically look for the existence of the netlogon
share and run the script mentioned in the smb.conf. The users home
directory will be automatically mapped using the drive letter
completed in the smb.conf. Other drives can then be added using net
use or you can use kixtart which is a great scripting program which
allows you to be more creative with your scripting. Stick with net
use if its just basic mapping your after.
Thanks very much. We've never used domain logins before but I looked
up in the "Using Samba" book about how to set up the Samba server as a
domain controller. Here's the contents of my [global] section of my
smb.conf:
Using samba is a reference to the Samba 2 branch (although some things
remains the same), Samba 3 has two books (available online), The
Official Samba-3 Howto and Reference Guide, and Samba by Example.
[global]
workgroup = Plab
domain logons = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
invalid users = root bin daemon adm sync shutdown halt mail
news uucp
max log size = 100
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
os level = 34
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
print command = /bin/lp -d%p %s; sleep 5; rm -f %s
printer = 128_1
printing = SYSV
log file = /var/log/samba.log
log level = 0
max log size = 50
debug timestamp = yes
logon script = startup.bat
Now I have two stupid questions:
1. When I go into one of my Windows 2000 clients and try to set it up
to be a member of the Plab domain, I get an error message saying that
it's not able to contact the Plab domain. But I thought I had the
Samba server set up properly to be a PDC.
Can be a lot of things, browsing, lack of guest user, the nmbd logs
should show how elections are going.
I don't see any error messages in the Samba log file.
Put a log level = 2, 0 doesn't log anything.
Is there any way I can test the Samba server to see if it's actually
operating as a PDC?
smbclient -L localhost -U% should show if you can list the resource of
the server locally and show who is the master browser.
I recommend you to use the samba server as a WINS server too (if it will
be always available), and configure the clients to use it.
The books have step by step examples on how to set up an test a PDC.
2. We also have Windows XP clients but I'm not able to find how to set
them up to be in the Plab domain. Anybody know how to configure XP
clients for domain logons?
The books shows that too including pictures of the dialogs on the client
and the scripts needed in the server, how to set privileges, etc.
Thanks very much,
Eric
