Hi, These changes would fix this bug:
The command "net rpc rights grant ..." and the sentence before it should be moved from step 3 to step 7 (offtopic note: I think that the note "if you wish to not use roaming profiles ..." should be moved up within step 3). The option -U must be inserted (e.g. net -U user rpc rights grant ...) with "user" replaced with a username with sufficient rights (and a samba password already set). Step 1 should note that libpam-smbpass will transfer a unix password to samba only when that user logs in to linux the first time (at least that's the info that I found somewhere). If your users don't log in to linux, only to samba, then you must set the samba passwords manually with smbpasswd -a. This includes the user specified in the command "net user rpc rights grant" and the user used to join client machines into the domain. The note in step 7 should include a reminder to make sure that the user has a samba password, either by logging in to linux once or by entering it with smbpasswd -a. best regards, Klaus -- samba pdc setup fails on net rpc rights grant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591272 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
