Re: [Samba] netlogon sometimes works (corrected with smb.conf attached)
I tried hardcoding it into the network card's settings, ensured the settings were there (ipconfig/all) and it did work on the first occasion. Subsequent logins, fail to make it run the netlogon script I've tried turning debug up but the output doesn't make much sense, had it mentioned attempting netlogon share, failed due to... then I'd at least be in a position to understand it. But the problem is intermittent and not mentioned in the logs (except when it succeeds) John H Terpstra [EMAIL PROTECTED] 20/01/2003 17:19 To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: [Samba] netlogon sometimes works On Mon, 20 Jan 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Could anybody please help? I have tried all sorts and nothing will fix the problem permamently. I have a samba PDC which on occasion happily logs a user on and processes the NETLOGON share. However, it doesn't always run this service. I have placed preexec commands in both the profiles and netlogon shares, only the profiles preexec is executed. Reboots don't make any difference, only determed logout / logins will eventually get the netlogon share executed. I have included the full smb.conf file, samba is now running 2.2.7a, each upgrade results in the same problem. We have two domains, one controlled by an old NT PDC (this is to be retired) and one by a new samba PDC (to be the main PDC for all machines, once they are migrated). I have noticed that trying to join the samba domain over a VPN is impossible, whereas joining the NT domain, works first time. I don't know if this last bit is relevant to the problem or not. Are you using WINS? If you believe you are: IS Samba your WINS server (ie: 'wins support = yes') ARE your MS Windows clients WINS settings the IP Address of your samba server. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

apologies, the smb.conf keeps on going astray, here it is (hopefully) # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too # many!) most of which are not shown in this example # # Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) # is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a # # for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you # may wish to enable # # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command testparm # to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors. # #=== Global Settings = [global] ## ## Basic Server Settings ## netbios name = PDC netbios aliases = FILESERVER workgroup = NOMAD server string = Nomad PDC (Samba %v) # This option is important for security.
