Ah, thatÂ’s done it. The uid's didn't match. All is working now. Thanks -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 23 January 2003 22:44 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Samba] Joining WinXp to Samba PDC Looks like the same problem as i had a feww moments ago. i tried to rejoin my domain, but received the same errors as you did. the problem was the machine account for my workstation. 1. check if the machine account exists ($) as unix user. -> /etc/passwd 2. check if the samba machine account exists. -> /etc/samba/smbpasswd 3. if both exist, check for the uid, should be the same. 4. check if another account exists, with the same id -> /etc/samba/smbpasswd 5. if yes, remove the duplicate id. (be sure not to remove a valid user!) -> /etc/samba/smbpasswd smbpasswd -x 6. try again. 7. if it doesn't work remove both (unix+samba) accounts and recreate them with the following script: #!/bin/bash #script creates an machine account #the group "machines" must exist adduser -g machines -s /bin/false -c "NT Machine Account" "$1\$" smbpasswd -m -a "$1\$" 8. try again. hope this helps, Joachim. - Original Message - From: "Roland Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Bradley W.

RE: [Samba] Joining WinXp to Samba PDC
Thanks, but I'm a bit confused. Where did Administrator come from? Is it a built in account in Samba, and whats the default password? I've tried using Administrator with no password ( and with my root password), but it keeps saying : Unknown username or bad password any other samba account I try just return : The specified user does not exist Any help appreciated Roland -Original Message- From: Bradley W.

[Samba] Joining WinXp to Samba PDC
After trying to get WinXP (Pro) to try and find my domain so I can log on I've finally done it, but now when I try and join my WinXP client to the domain, windows asks me to enter the username and password of an account with permission to join the domain. Now which account would this be?? root doesn't work, neither do my other samba users. Do I have to create another user or something? Thanks Running RH8.0 and Samba 2.2.7a Smb.conf = [global] workgroup = LANGHOLME domain logons = yes encrypt passwords = yes security = user os level = 99 local master = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes [netlogon] # comment = path = /data/samba/logon public = no writeable = no browseable = no -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
