Hello all, I have one machine setup with samba 3 (or whatever comes with sarge), and it works fine for sharing stuff with Win95 and 98 machines. I wanted to be able to have a Win2k machine logon using the users on the samba machine, so I looked into how to set up samba to work as a PDC.
I went to: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Samba-Authenticated-Gateway-HOWTO.html http://sunsite.dk/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/samba-pdc-howto.html http://sunsite.dk/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/samba-pdc-faq.html But I'm still having some problems. Partly, probably, because the samba-pdc-howto is for samba 2.2, but anyway, this is what happens. I configured smb.conf to have the stuff that the howto suggests, and even added a 'machine user'. In Win2k when I go to Network Identification -> Properties and type in the domain, it asks for a 'Domain Username and Password'. I've tried root, Administrator and some other accounts that are members of the group I specified as domain admins, and it keeps saying "unknown username or bad password". I think this might have something to do with the new passdb.tdb file that's supposed to replace smbpasswd... I tried using the smbpasswd utility, and it said "Failed to modify entry for user blah$". Since that machine *does* exist in /etc/passwd, i looked around for smbpasswd and couldn't find it on my drive. I found smbpasswd.bak, so then I ran mksmbpasswd according to the manual, but that still didn't help. So then I reconfigured the samba package, to find out that the password thing is now in passdb.tdb. In case passdb.tdb was out of date, I moved it to a new name and let dpkg-reconfigure generate a new one. Now the smbpasswd utility works just fine, but I still can't logon to the domain; I still get "unknown username or bad password" when signing in with user root. Any ideas?
