Are you using LDAP? If so, then you need to put all user and
machine accounts into the LDAP database.

Providing you are not using LDAP for Samba, use in smb.conf:

workgroup = genwax
netbios name = mars

Also, first stop samba, the remove your secrets.tdb file. Also, remove the
browse.dat (and if you have one, wins.dat), then restart samba, wait at
least 5 minutes before you try to get your MS Windows client to join the
domain.

Also, I strongly recommend that you run Samba as your WINS server and set
in the MS Windows Client TCP/IP config, the IP address of your samba
server for the WINS primary _and_ secondary addresses.

To enable WINS serving in samba in smb.conf [globals]:
wins support = yes

Also, restart the MS Windows machine, and when you log on as the local
administrator, do NOT try to browse the network before you join the
domain.

Additionally, I presume you already have a root account in your smbpasswd
file. You will need to use the 'Administrator' account to join the domain,
and give it the password you entered when you added 'root' to smbpasswd.

Let's see how that goes.

i assume you get the welcome to WORKGROUP and
welcome to GENWAX.TEST message boxes after you change the machine props?

i've never tried this - did you try logging in without the netbios name
param?

Are your sure your clients are looking at the dns server you mentioned?
you might try putting the ip address into the hosts file on the pro
machine..

I tried this with about 200 entries in the smbpasswd file and found it
made no difference. I suspect something else was spooking you. It would be
nice to know what!

Re: [Samba] samba PDC problems

2002-12-11 Thread Sean Roulet

Hi Cliff,

I don't know if this will work, but short of the DNS error, you seem to be
having a problem that I encoutered some time ago, (I used to get a "user
does not exist" error) and I fixed it as follows.

The smbpasswd file contains the usernames and computers.

I found that opening it in a text editor and moving the Win2K computername
entry that couldn't join up to below the root user. (include all unix and
windows hash.)

Then I saved the file, and tried again.  And it worked.  I don't know why
this is, but it seems that if computers are far down in the list, they
aren't found by samba.  (or windows times out, I don't know which).

Sean

PS: I had posted a question about this to the list zonks ago, but got no

you can't have the workgroup and the domain with the same name...
 

ok - but samba is setup as a primary domain controller.
there are NO other servers on the network, so there is
not a workgroup and a domain.  i assume that all windows
95/98/me and XP home clients are going to see the domain as
a workgroup, and that XP Pro/NT clients will see it as a
domain and logon accordingly.  this is a test server. only
it, and two pc's are currently hooked to the network for
testing purposes.  one pc has XP home, and calls GENWAX.TEST
a workgroup, and the other has XP pro.  when i tell it to
connect to the GENWAX.TEST workgroup, it works fine, when
i tell it to connect as a domain, it fails with the DNS/SRV
message.

here is a relative snipped from my smb.conf file:

 snip 
[global]

# samba build string
#   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba_2.2.7  --mandir=/usr/local/man --with-smbmount --with-pam --with-pam_smbpass --with-ssl --with-libsmbclient && make


# server name and group stuff
	workgroup = genwax.test
	netbios name = filesnew
	server string = files server TESTING ONLY
	interfaces = 10.222.222.0/24 127.0.0.1/32
	bind interfaces only = yes

# passwords and domain logions

	security = user 
	path = /home/%s/samba

# logging directives
	log file = /usr/local/samba/var/logs/%m	
	log level = 3

# file and directory masks
	create mask = 0660
	directory mask = 0770

#restrictions
	dont descend = /proc,/dev,/etc
	hosts allow = 10.222.222. 127.0
	hide unreadable = yes
	max smbd processes = 100
	min print space = 1
	# do not allow files with CLSID extensions to be open
	veto files = /*.{*}/


# case sensitivity stuff
	mangle case = no
	case sensitive = no
	default case = lower
	preserve case = yes
	short preserve case = yes
 snip 

here is a snip from the relevant named file on the same server:
 snip 
venus   IN  A   10.222.222.2
marsIN  A   10.222.222.3
filesnewIN  A   10.222.222.3
hpvec1  IN  A   10.222.222.167
hpvec2  IN  A   10.222.222.168
 snip 

hpvec1 and hpvec2 are XP home and XP pro clients respectively
venus is not running samba currently

any help would be appreciated.

ah
you can't have the workgroup and the domain with the same name...

hi tim,

i am having the same problem.  i can use XP and samba 2.2.7 in a workgroup
environment, and everything works fine.  when i try and join the XP 
workstation
as a domain, i get the same message as you do.

i read up on creating a SRV record via bind, which seems easy
enough, but i am not sure what prog s/b running on the other end of that
service, and how it should be configured.

i hope someone with some deep know how understands the problem and what
to do here.

Hi all,

I am having trouble setting up samba to act as a PDC.  I am fairly new to red hat \
linux, and have just installed RH 7.3 running the default configuration.  I updated \
samba to 2.2.7 using the online updating feature and followed a step by step tutorial \
to configure samba to become a PDC.

When i try to connect to the domain with windows XP pro, it displays the message "a \
domain controller for the domain mydomain can not be located"

when i choose details it says

The error was: "DNS request not supported by name server."
(error code 0x232C RCODE_NOT_IMPLEMENTED)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.mydomain
out without a solution.  Please help!
 


I've not seen this problem before...
can you browse to the server using it's hostname (not ip address)?

 

on the XP box: Control Panel -> System -> Computer Name -> Change...

if i use the workgroup setting of GENWAX.TEST, then i can browse
the server, read and write files, and it seems to be working
fine.  if i try to change to a domain setting of GENWAX.TEST, then
it fails with the DNS and SRV record message same as above but
with GENWAX.TEST in place of mydomain.
