Hello again. I finally managed to setup samba as a PDC and I was delighted to see that it actually worked this time, thanks to a few people here on the list. I could join the domain from the a computer running XP but I'm having some trouble when I try to connect from another computer. I get the following message;
"A domain controller for the domain could not be contacted The error was: 'DNS name does not exist.' (error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR) The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.DOMAIN NAME Common causes of this error include the following: - The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS." My smb.conf is: [global] workgroup = AE.LOCAL server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu) obey pam restrictions = Yes passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1 passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* . syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 add machine script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" logon script = logon.bat logon path = \\%N\profiles logon drive = H: logon home = \\%N\%U\data domain logons = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes ldap admin dn = cn=admin,dc=ae,dc=local ldap group suffix = ou=groups ldap machine suffix = ou=machines ldap passwd sync = Yes ldap suffix = dc=ae,dc=local ldap user suffix = ou=users panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /home/%S/data valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 browseable = No [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /data/samba/netlogon write list = @admins guest ok = Yes share modes = No [profiles] comment = Users profiles path = /home/%U/profiles read only = No create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 printable = Yes browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/printers I don't know if it helps, but the server and the client that can connect are both running wireless network cards, and the computer that cannot connect is not. Any ideas how I can solve this? Huyth. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
