Got it all going now, thanks :)
Igor Belyi was a great help, thanks again!
As it stands now its just windows issues...
such as no non-sp2 machines being able to join the domain, and one
machine doesnt read/save its roaming profile...
but the rest work.. what do you expect from windows? :)
if anyone has some insight to that one, id be glad to know what it is..
sp2 isnt 'liked' very much by other users..
thanks everyone for the help!

Can you see the test domain in Network Places from other workgroups on your
network? If not, is NETBIOS over TCP/IP working on your network?
Is the root user listed in /etc/samba/smbpasswd?
Does your useradd script accept $ in a username (some do not apparently)?
Check /etc/passwd for the machine's name
Does your /var/log/samba/log.smbd or messages file indicate that an attempt
is being made to query the password backend and that this is failing?

Subject: Re: [Samba] PDC and windows xp domain joining - root user does
notexist
ok, changed the computers name and added it just as I added 'test'
then, deleted the 'test' machine
the new machine I called 'mark'
and, it was already in a workgroup.. so I rebooted it
no change. it still tells me that root is an invalid user
so, im back where I started.

I am trying to set up a samba PDC, and I have followed many FAQ's and
HOWTO's ive found online.
all seem to be just about the same..
So, I made a config up (at the end of this email)
then I did the following:
added users/machines as such: (just trying to get it to work, will
spice it up later)
useradd test$
passwd -l test$
smbpasswd -a -m test
smbpasswd root
(entered a password twice...)
Now... I went to the windows xp machine, changed some registry
settings (windows xp with service pack 2, BTW.)
then I attempted to join the domain, entered 'TEST' as the domain,
and a prompt came up asking me for the username and password required
to join the domain..
entered root and the root password and... it tells me: 'the specified
user does not exist'
now, thats damned strange...
so I create another unix user, and then another samba user.. I call
this user 'test' with a password 'test'
so, I try to use that, and it tells me access denied... so I can
understand that..
I try to enter root with no password, and it tells me the username or
password is invalid.. I expected that as well, I guess.
im at a loss. I honestly dont know what to do.
my thing is, at work we are considering switching off of novell in
favor of samba, so I best get to know it
im off to a rocky start. I hope that someone on list has an idea.
thanks in advance :)
here is my smb.conf, mostly copied from examples:
[global]
workgroup = TEST
netbios name = SAMBAPDC
server string = Samba %v on %L
log level = 1
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%L
max log size = 1000
time server = Yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192
SO_RCVBUF=8192
logon script = logon.bat
logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u
domain logons = Yes
os level = 255
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
[netlogon]
path = /home/samba/netlogon
browseable = No
[profiles]
path = /home/samba/profiles
read only = No
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
browseable = No
[data]
path = /home/samba/data
read only = No
create mask = 0750
directory mask = 0750
guest ok = Yes
How did you called the machine. It has to be the same like the machine
account of cource, probably 'test' in your case. I saw that you called
the workgroup the same. My win workstations complain if have machine
with same name as domain. Try calling domain test1 and machine test
for instance.
I also noticed that sometimes a win machine has to be restarted before
joining a domain I don't know why.
You can also try make a WinXP SP2 a workgroup machine before joining
to the domain and test user root and password.
